Gilmore Bridge
Easy bridge to visit - totally restored - part of the Wabash Heritage Corridor Trail system. Spans the Wabash & Erie Canal. Just west of US 421 and St. Hwy 25 intersection - south side - behind the Pizza Hut. Turn south on Bicycle Bridge road, you can not miss it. Take note of Stone Arch Bridge ( built in 1901 ) that you cross over just before turning into parking area. Recommend that you also visit restored Bowstring Arch Bridge ( built in 1873 ) on north end of town also crossing Wabash & Erie Canal
