Bunker Hill Bridge
Description
Historically known as the Bunker Hill Bridge, but often referred to as the Smith Road Bridge (although that road is now called Parks Road). The bridge is believed to have been originally built elsewhere and later moved to this location. Although the bridge is rather short apparently the creek is even smaller.The bridge may have been built as early as the late 1860's given that the plaque has both the Zenas King and Peter Freez (his original partner) names on it.
