This bridge was constructed in 1911 over Savery Creek to connect the Little Snake River Valley to the mining district of Hahn's Peak.  Ranchers used it to move cattle and sheep to grazing pastures, especially during high water.  Built in time to see the surge in automobile traffic, the bridge was heavily used until State Highway 70 became the main thoroughfare in 1948, rerouting traffic.  

At the time of the bridge's removal and relocation to the museum, it was the fourth oldest working truss bridge in Wyoming.
