The Cobban Bridge, constructed in 1908 by the Modern Steel Structural Company of Waukesha, is a two-span Pennsylvania overhead truss bridge and the oldest of its kind in Wisconsin. It originally crossed the Chippewa River just upstream from its junction with the Yellow River. During construction of the Wissota Dam in 1916, the bridge was dismantled, and through the efforts of Oscar Anderson, a Cobban store owner, it was acquired for placement on land donated by S.C.F. Cobban. During the winters of 1916 and 1917, the dismantled bridge was hauled to this site by horse and sled, with movers receiving one dollar per ton for the fifteen mile trip. Footings were placed by the L.G. Arnold Company, and Cromby and Thallacker of Milwaukee reconstructed the bridge in 1918-19. The ferry that had provided a crossing to Cobban was discontinued and replaced by the bridge, which was soon nicknamed the "Little Wagon Bridge."
