Black Bridge

1904

Fabricated by the Iowa Iron Company, the early well known bridge was built like a railroad trestle with black overhead supports. It served as the area's only route across the Yahara River. Nearby speakesies and its edge-of-town location gave the area a dubious reputation in the Prohibition Era.

Marker is on Bridge Road just west of Winnequah Road, on the right when traveling east.
