NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Originally this bridge had concrete balustrades, but these were replaced in recent times by metal rails of contemporary design. The first bridge at this site was constructed by local residents of wood. In 1872 the wooden bridge was replaced by one of iron. In 1881 another larger iron bridge was constructed. The current bridges dates from 1917. Although it does not have historically significant features, the bridge is a major focal point in the Main Street Historic District.
