Caption: Sign Inside the Old Blenheim Bridge
Additional Description: This sign is mounted on the north wall of the bridge, just inside the west portal. It reads as follows: In the Spring of 1869 a sever freshet
washed out a wide channel across the western
approach. A wooden extensioin was added to
the Blenheim Bridge to span the new channel.
In 1895 it was replaced by an iron extension.
The wooden Covered Bridge was retired from use
in 1931 and the Board of Supervisors voted to
retain the bridge as a public historial relic.
