Jim Drake writes, "After the bridge was destroyed by the Corps of Engineer in 1975, the Benton County Historical Society salvaged some cable and decking, cut them up and sold them as souvenirs. Riley Wray, a retired engineer, cut the cable with an electric hack saw and mounted the cable on a piece of the oak decking."

Balltown Bridge

Balltown Bridge near Cole Camp. EDIT: Further info found in Kenneth Bird's book "The Cole Camp Area": The c. 1880 Balltown Bridge carried the Butterfield Trail over Cole Camp Creek, six miles south of Cole Camp. When a new bridge was built in 1993, the old bridge was donated to the Cole Camp Historical Society by Benton County, and the bridge was moved in October of 1993 to the Ezekiel Williams Memorial Park in Cole Camp. Pictured on the bridge in 1915 are, from left to right, George Weymuth, Henry Fitschen, Bish Eickhoff, Theodore Fitschen, Walter McKinney (with gun), Ben Eickhoff, and Leo Eickhoff (with bow tie).
