Description
According to Frederick Fleming Unger in "Old Bridges of Franklin County" this bridge's tablet listed it to be built in 1811 by M. McAfee and J.C. Work. The marker was given to the Kittochinny Historical Society of Franklin County. The new bride replaced this one and sits 50 feet to the north of the old stone bridge (which was blown up in June 1941).Facts
