In Walpole, on a bridge on School Street, is Memorial Bridge, which has a bronze plaque on the west side commemorating the 200th Anniversary of Walpole's incorporation.
The bridge is located about 200 ft from the intersection of School Street and East Street, and about 100 ft. north of Walpole Town Hall.
