The Milford Swing Bridge, in Milford, New Hampshire, is a 200-foot iron-cable suspended footbridge built in 1889 that spans the Souhegan River and is still used for pedestrian traffic. Its predecessor, a wooden footbridge built in 1850, originated the name because it was known to sway heavily under the foot traffic of mill workers crossing over it as they trekked to and from work and home. The current bridge bears the traits of the Victorian Era, including a cross beam with elaborate finials that span between the towers on each side of the bridge. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2017.
