Looking back at the one-lane Nisqually Historic Suspension Bridge. It’s the oldest suspension bridge in the United States’s National Park System. The original was first built in 1911, followed by a new, stronger one in the early-mid 1920s. Later additions came again over the years. It’s a beautiful bridge reflecting what is called “NPS rustic architecture,” sturdy infrastructures made from local materials and built to blend in with the natural look of the area.
