Historical marker at the bridge (where children may read, too) reads:

Stone Arch Bridge

This three arched stone arch bridge was built around 1880 by Swiss German immigrants Henry and Philip Hembt. It is located on a road which was important in the settlement of central Sullivan County. This route served as a major means of transport between the Old Newburgh Cochecton Turnpike and the Callicoon Valley.

One of the few hex murders on record in the Upper Delaware Valley was committed on this bridge in 1882.

This bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
