Historic Bridge Park
Historic Bridge Park, located a bit southeast of Battle Creek in Calhoun County, Michigan, is a unique park which also functions as an open air museum whose focus is on the historic truss bridges that have been moved to and restored within the park. The park allows metal truss bridges that have become insufficient for their original location to be preserved for their historic and aesthetic value. There also is a historic stone arch railroad overpass within the park. Historic Bridge Park is the first of its kind in the entire United States. In addition to providing the historic bridges for the enjoyment of visitors, Historic Bridge Park is a fully functional park, with running water restroom facilities, picnic and playground areas, and paved trails for the enjoyment of pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. The park is only four-five minutes from Firekeepers Casino.
Entry into the park is free of charge, and the park is open year-round from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

According to Binder Park Zoo website, In the late 1960s, members of the Battle Creek Jaycees, Jaycees Auxiliary, and the Battle Creek Kiwanis Club originated the idea of building a children’s zoo in Battle Creek. In August 1975, the name of the organization was changed to the Binder Park Zoological Society, Inc. and the Society was incorporated as a private, nonprofit corporation. In 1992, a new master plan was developed for Binder Park Zoo. The plan featured the construction of the spectacular 50-acre Wild Africa exhibit.

Trip across the bridge
A slideshow I prepared for a Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas contest but never entered. The photos featured are pics I took of the old Osage Creek Bridge in western Benton County. The bridge is abandoned and in danger of being torn down. It was built in 1911 by the Youngstown Bridge Company of Ohio, one of only two built in Arkansas. It would be a shame to lose this piece of history.
