From the bridge, look to the right over the river for a view of the old iron bridge built in 1880, now not passable. It marks where an early wagon and stagecoach trail forded the river. A public well, which still exists a few feet from the bridge, was witched by a Peoria Black man, William Robinson, and dug in 1880. Lime kilns were once located along these river banks
