Excerpt from www.mnheritage.com/review.htm :
A bridge was built about a mile from the Red Jacket Mill in 1873 to help farmers haul their goods. The Wrought Iron Bridge Co. of Canton, Ohio, built the bridge for $6,000 in Section 35 of Mankato Township. The bridge provided an all-season crossing for two roads into West Mankato - the Cobb River Road and Indian Lake Road. The bridge was found to be too dangerous for traffic and closed in December 1990.
It is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only example of a bowstring arch-through truss bridge in Minnesota today.
