Aldrich Change Bridge --- Palmyra
The Aldrich Change Bridge was restored and is at Aqueduct Park in Palmyra, NY. Now a little bit of history: It was manufactured in 1858 by Square Whipple . The bridge was originally located at the Weighlock in Rochester but was then moved in 1880 to the Macedon Palmyra Town line. Then in about 1915 it was sold to a local farmer who placed the bridge across Ganargua Creek near Macedon. The bridge was eventually abandoned in in the late sixties or early seventies and just remained there until it collasped in an ice storm and fell in the creek. The town got ownership of it in 1996 and volunteers rescued it from Ganargua Creek in 1997 and started to restore it. It was rededicated in 2004, close to its original location. It is Erie Canal Change Bridge # 35.
