Built back in 1856-1857, this ol' ghost of a bridge, known as the 'Change Bridge', has been keeping quiet in the scenic backdrop of Palmer and Williams Townships for a hot minute. In its day, it was a gritty, all-important piece of the Lehigh Canal action, acting as a solid link. But the clock keeps tickin', and today, all that's left are three stoic stone piers and a lone cable - at least, that's the scoop from 1972. It got itself listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, sharing the spotlight with a 5-acre area. It's a slice of yesteryear that seems to have skipped the memo and is chilling, undiscovered, among the lush greenery.
