What is it? | There’s nothing left here but a modern bridge and a whole lot of fencing! |
What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: In 1852, immediately after his arrival and completion of his cabin, Wood proceeded to build a ferryboat and establish the crossing known as Wood’s Ferry. In 1858, he built a toll bridge at the old ferry crossing, charging $1 for a pair of animals and wagon, and .50 extra for every additional pair of animals with the wagon.
