This is an easy one but you might learn something from it.
George Froman built a ferry about one mile from where you are reading the sign. It operated at that location until a bridge was built in 1921.
The ferry barge was connected by ropes to a pulley which slid along a cable spanning the river. By angling the barge into the swift current the Ferryman could cross the stream in either direction without any other source of power. This type of ferry was common in this area.
To get credit for this find e-mail me the year the ferry was built and what community you are in. Do not put any part of your answer in your log, even if encrypted.
