A swinging bridge from 125 years ago in Orange Township
No one in Bluffton today can identify this scene.
It’s Big Riley Creek in Orange Township. A swinging bridge crossed the stream about 125 years ago, as you can see.
Apparently the Anderson farm on the left side (north side) had a bull that kept hikers from roaming at large.
This photo was part of a small photography brochure of several Bluffton scenes around 1900.
Will Triplett took this photo and as part of his signature, he placed a model on the bridge - you can see if better in the enlargement below.
