Bridge to Faith

A wooden bridge was originally built at this site in 1935. Damaged over the years by farm traffic, trucks from nearby gravel pits, and occasional flooding, the bridge was reconstructed in 1969 and then totally replaced in 1995. Maryvale is the Provincial Center for the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation for the United States Province. The Roman Catholic religious women's community was founded in 1828 in Broons, France. Built in 1965, the Center serves as a place of formation for women who desire to enter religious life and as a retirement center for the Sisters. Valley City National Fish Hatchery is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The main hatchery was finished in 1940; another facility near Baldhill Dam was built in 1952. Both facilities maintain and manage fish populations in regional lakes, rivers and streams.
