Significance: The Grindstone Creek Bridge, a Pratt through truss bridge dating 1891, is one of a few extant bridges of this type constructed before the turn of the century. Retaining a high degree of integrity, this structure is also important for its laced upper chords and end posts -- a somewhat unusual configuration. The bridge was constructed by E.L. Dildine, Cameron, Missouri.
