Was in the area, doing QS-9000 audit of Dura Brownstown, Feb 2000; managed to snap this bridge and Medora. Missed getting Bells Ford during visit.....much to my regret today.....was still learning my bridge taking style back then, but glad I took pics....

That is a memorial marker for someone who lived in the area and died. The inscriptions are carved on the back side facing the camps.

What is the bench at the end of the bridge? We rode there the other day and wondered the history of it.

It’s a beautiful bridge that has been restored to very good condition. Bridge is also very long, as I found out when me and my brother ran and raced across it.
