First Bridge

Ransom County Notes: The picture Cindy Olson recently posted on the "You are from Ransom County..." site shows something of historical interest. The second meeting of the newly formed county commission in Ransom County, April 16, 1881, dealt with authorizing the building of the first bridge over the Sheyenne River at the north end of main street in Lisbon. The bridge seen here could well have been that bridge.
