History

The Bartlett Bridge was constructed around 1880. The bridge was bypassed in 1939. For many years the bridge was neglected and used as a storage facility by the town. The bridge was purchased by Isabelle Casinelli in 1966. The following year she contracted with Milton S. and Arnold M. Graton to rehabilitate the bridge and install a gift shop inside. The bridge has been privately owned ever since. The Bartlett Bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
