Project
History of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Updated Decennial Edition)
Overview
Every decade, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers publishes an updated edition of History of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, highlighting the organization’s legacy and contributions to infrastructure, engineering, and community development across the nation.
Challenge
For the latest edition, the Office of History sought historically significant imagery that reflected the Corps’ involvement in preserving American landmarks. They needed a high-quality, contextually accurate photograph of the Gruber Wagon Works—an important structure the Corps helped preserve and relocate.
Solution
The Office of History selected a photograph of the Gruber Wagon Works captured by Hugg Media Group for Berks Weekly. The image, recognized for its editorial quality and historical framing, will appear in both the print and digital editions of the book.
Background
The Gruber Wagon Works, built in 1882 and relocated in 1967 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, stands as one of the most intact examples of rural manufacturing in the United States. Today, it resides at the Berks County Heritage Center and is designated a National Historical Landmark.
