Huntington's Ford and First Bridge

Pioneers forded Little River from Charles Street diagonally acorss just below the Island to the Court House. A dugout canoe, when hailed, carried pedestrians across for 50 cents. Reportedly Indians had used this ford when traveling to The Forks. The first truss bridge over Little River was built here at the ford. It was accepted in December 1843.
