Shown is a rare example of a surviving stone arch bridge in northern Indiana. This one was built by Hawks Furniture Company to move goods and people between both sides of the Millrace Canal in Goshen. It was built in approximately 1885. Obviously at that time, horses and wagons was a more common form of transportation. The bridge is not wide enough for automobile traffic; even for one way. But the bridge, a beautiful example of stone masonry work, found new life when the trail system was installed a few years ago and connects the trail with Jefferson Street. A nearby sign explains the historical significance of the bridge.
