Significance: The White River Bridge, a nineteenth-century Pratt through truss, is the oldest known remaining truss bridge in the State of Wisconsin. It was designed and built by Milwaukee Bridge and Iron Works of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a company which became a leading bridge building firm in the central states region by the twentieth century. The bridge is a good example of the work of the company in its formative years.
