The longest of the 3 iron bridges on the park that dates back to the early 1900’s, this was part of an old wagon road that took settlers from Whitestone, SC to Glenn Springs, SC, and was a major thoroughfare during that time. It is located at the Foster’s Mill site. This area was a central gathering area with several businesses located around the mill.
