The Cobban Bridge
constructed in 1908
486-foot span
by the Modern Steel Structural Company of Waukesha, WI
a two-span Pennsylvania overhead truss type bridge
oldest of its kind in Wisconsin
Originally it crossed the Chippewa River
just upstream from its junction with the Yellow River
The bridge was dismantled during the construction of the Wissota Dam in 1916

Between 1916 and 1918,
the Wisconsin-Minnesota Power & Light Company
built a hydroelectric dam four miles downstream from the bridge,
putting the site under water



During the winters of 1916 and 1917
the disassembled bridge was hauled here by horse and sled
with the movers receiving one dollar per ton for the fifteen mile trip

"Old Abe"
http:wikipedia.org/Old_Abe
the famous eagle mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry
Taken from its nest when only four months old
the eagle had been purchased and presented to the regiment
then preparing to go to the front
"Old Abe" was given a place next to the regiment flag
where he remained for the next three years.

The eagle died in 1881 and was stuffed and mounted for public display

I couldn't make that up

oldest Wisconsin Mill still in operation.

The Dells Mill Museum is 5 miles north Augusta WI
on County Road V just off of State Highway 27
(about 35 miles SW of Chippewa Falls, WI)



"This remarkable, five-story building,
built in 1864 is entirely constructed of hand-hewn timbers
fastened with wooden pegs.

Except for the grindstones,
the mill machinery, including the millwheel, gears and pulleys,
is also fashioned entirely of wood.
The waterpower generated by Bridge Creek
is transferred from waterwheel to milling machinery
over 3000 feet of belting and 175 pulleys."
- section from the Explore Wisconsin website









half a mile to the east of the Dells Pond
lies the Dells Mill school
built in 1866
to serve as an elementary school for grades 1 through 8
