POLAND The historic Riverside Cemetery Bridge will have a marker this year, declaring it part of the National Register of Historic Places.
The marker is being made and once it is placed, local historians plan a dedication ceremony.
These National Register of Historic Places roadside markers appear across the nation. The Riverside Cemetery Bridge was added to the registry in 1983 along with the historic South Main Street area, which was added in 1974. Neither one had a marker until now, thanks to local historian Dave Smith.
“I am the one who wrote the application for the bridge marker,” Smith said.
