Originally built in the 1830s as 29-07-06 (Bagley) to span the Warner River in Warner, NH, it was put in storage in 1966. Rebuilt & installed in 2008 by Arnold M. Graton Associates. The bridge is on the old Island Ford Rd., which was an old Indian trail.
The bridge was built as an open span bridge in 1894, and was covered around 1900, and restored in 1994. The bridge was fastened together with wooden pegs and is still sturdy today.
