This historic bridge is named after Kirby's Mill, the last working Mill in NJ and one of our more significant NRHP sites. The bridge has a beautiful, white date stone in the middle on the southern side. The bridge is about seventy-five feet or so long and is located at about 275 Church Rd in Medford, the address of Kirby’s Mill. We had an interesting view of Kirby's mill as we stood over the water at the first water control gate. It was a very idyllic view. Not too much traffic crossed the bridge. There are also three historic markers near or on the bridge as well.
