The nearby bridge, which is over 100 years old, is the older of the 2 bridges that cross the Marshyhope Creek in Federalsburg.
A Maryland Historical Trust marker nearby reads:
UNTIL IT WAS RENAMED FEDERALSBURG IN 1812, THE COMMUNITY TOOK ITS NAME FROM THE BRIDGE AT THIS CROSSING. THIS 215-FOOT CONCRETE STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1910 BY THE LUTEN BRIDGE COMPANY OF YORK, PA, A FIRM NOTED FOR ITS FILLED SPANDREL ARCH DESIGN. IT WAS BUILT AS PART OF THE NEWLY-FORMED STATE ROADS COMMISSION’S PLAN TO IMPROVE THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM. REPAIRED AND ALTERED AFTER THE FLOOD OF 1935.
The cache is located a short distance away at another bridge that is only for foot traffic.
At certain times it is NOT advised to wear your best shoes when searching for this cache.
