This iron bridge was open to the public spanning the Paluxy River in 1891.

It is located along Berry Creek Rd. (CR-149), ¼ mile N. of US-377 in Erath County Texas.

While the historical marker identifies the bridge as a suspension bridge, it is actually a cable stayed bridge design, and as such is probably the oldest of its type in the United States.

Built in 1906; the land was donated by Andrew Glenn. Community events, funerals, and school graduations are held here. Originally used for early denominations in revivals that lasted for days.
