Ross Bridge Historical Park

Ross Bridge Historical Park is a tranquil local park featuring a Civil War–era bridge, dense woods, tranquil trails, and a playground.

The History of Ross Bridge dates to 1858, when a Carolinian named James Taylor Ross was so struck by the beauty of the Oxmoor Valley that he settled here to farm and raise his family. During the Civil War, he allowed Southern forces to build a railway supply line through his land. Part of the construction was a massive stone bridge built to span Ross Creek. The war is long since over, but the weathered bridge still stands as a testament to perseverance.
