ROUBIDOUX FORD & FORMER BRIDGE, Western end of North Street: This site was the location where early pioneers and settlers crossed — or forded — Roubidoux Creek before the steel bridge was constructed in 1911. Steel for the bridge was shipped by rail to Crocker and hauled to Waynesville by wagon team. The completed bridge cost just less than $4,000. It was replaced in 1923 by a new bridge 350 feet upstream.
