This cache is placed on the 50th anniversary of the day (February 2nd 1969) it collapsed into the Elk River due to flooding. The Stone Bridge was completed and opened in 1861. It was ordered destroyed by General Sherman during the Civil War, but Major Byrd said it was too beautiful piece of architecture and it was spared. It carried traffic until 1928, when it was replaced by a new Highway truss bridge. StoneBridge Bridgehunter info: The Old Stone Bridge in Fayetteville, TN was at one time an amazing six span, 450' long stone arch bridge built over the Elk River. Legend has it that the bridge was so beautiful that General Sherman himself spared the bridge when him and his army marched over it during the Civil War. Flooding destroyed the bridge in 1969 and today the bridge lies in ruins. Some stones from this bridge are now apart of a "replica" pedestrian bridge about 300 yards to the northeast of this bridge in the Stone Bridge Memorial Park.
