Comments:
The footbridge provided access to the island created in the Dog River by the mill dam for the Gould Mill. The Goulds ran their horses there. This footbridge was moved to an island off the shore of Lake Champlain in the 1950s, but its present whereabouts are unknown. Coordinates are approximate.
