In Indiana, we put up an interpretive display to show the history of a bridge that we have restored or rehabilitated to show that we value it as an important piece of our heritage.
In Pennsylvania, They put up an interpretive display to show that Yes... there was indeed an historic bridge here, but we demolished it and really don't care about our heritage. But hey... here's a picture of it!

Elk County once had some of the most scenic pin-connected truss bridges in the country. The bridges might not have been the most unique, but were in such beautiful, untouched rural settings. Each one was reduced to scrap metal.
