This Lucky 7 meanders around town, visiting such sights as an NRHP bridge (the Curlew Bridge), the town library, an out of place grave, a little eatery and ice cream joint on the outskirts of Curlew, the Ansorge Hotel Museum (another NRHP place, BTW), even a forlorn and neglected 1937/38 Seagrave fire truck.

This two lane bridge, built in 1960, carries State Highway 21 over the Kettle River just south of the village of Curlew. A Polygonal Warren through truss bridge, it rests on heavy concrete seats with abutments and wing walls each end. There are essentially no approach spans to the bridge. Each side of the bridge has a narrow walkway.

At each end of the bridge, on the right side, is a large rounded concrete post supporting railing ends which bears the year of construction of the bridge.
