No. 4 Bridge over Willamette 1910 Horse Buggy on Bridge

[Coast Fork] of the Willamette River - Bridge with horse and buggy. View is south of where the Main Street Bridge is now.

This peaceful summer scene, about 1910, shows an early bridge over the Willamette River south of where our main street bridge is today. If you look closely you can see a horse and buggy crossing from the eastside to the westside. By December of 1911 our town folk were being introduced to automobiles with a movie presentation at the Arcade Theater showing how the E.M.F. and Flanders touring cars were made. 

Do you know how many bridges, including vehicle and pedestrian, are within the Cottage Grove City limits?
