Van Buren Bridge
Posted October 9, 2007, by Beverly (beverly [dot] edington [at] blackrivertech [dot] edu)

I am from Van Buren and I have a picture that my mother took of this bridge which is almost identical to this postcard. I have a lot of memories of this old bridge. Van Buren what a wonderful place.
