There has been an ongoing battle over the construction date of this landmark. Dr. James Cooper, who is a renowned historian in Indiana did extensive research into this bridge, which is historically known as the Baker Bridge, and found that it was actually built in 1879. I feel confident with his findings!Tony Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399016635470079627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762626288766734834.post-90560528130419541472014-04-16T00:20:07.696-07:002014-04-16T00:20:07.696-07:00Thanks for the information on the Ceylon bridge. I...Thanks for the information on the Ceylon bridge. I have an old photo from 1974, with my Mom, Dad, and a Gr. Uncle standing in front of this bridge. I searched on google earth for it and the bridge was gone and looked demolished, and that was kind of what I was expecting. That photo was 40 years ago. Then I find out the image the satellite had was taken while they were restoring the bridge. haha! Now the photo I have has a sign above the entrance and it reads "On The Banks Of The Wabash 1862" I was wondering why does the sign on it now reads 1860?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486240540963217708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762626288766734834.post-50124921069986013852012-07-19T19:09:59.575-07:002012-07-19T19:09:59.575-07:00Sorry Will...
