    We have a almost identical bridge in our town that was built around the same time. I think it was rebuilt around 1900 and fell into disrepair after it wasn’t used for traffic anymore. They’re currently spending a boatload of money to rebuild it again. It’s nice to see landmarks preserved and a shame when they’re at the point this bridge is where it’s probably beyond saving.

    If that's where I think it is, somewhere on the downstream side you will find a Springfield ram rod, or parts thereof. We did some filming there about 20 years ago and my ram rod got stuck in my musket. We decided to shoot it out and filmed it. Didn't make the final cut but it was a once in a lifetime experience! :)

    I bet the men who built that bridge were mighty proud when it was done and celebrated down there in the creek with some stiff drinks while they admired their work and enjoyed the sun. Then they packed up and headed to the next job.... now it sits there a couple hundred years later in silence.
