Three Bridges County Park is small but rich in history.
Dedicated in 1960, it was the first county park in Marshall County.
Before becoming a public space, the land served as a rock quarry, providing stone for the county courthouse just up the road.
One of the park's three namesake bridges, an old wagon bridge, offers a glimpse into the past.
The second known as the quarry bridge was built in 1885.
It still spans the Iowa River flowing through the park.
A third suspension bridge stretches across the bluff above the valley.
It's a part of a short hiking loop through the area.
♪♪ [Kohlsdorf] With its history and natural beauty, Three Bridges County Park is worth a detour off the byway.
