“Celebrating the Lincoln Bridge Centennial
One hundred years ago, on a cold February day, residents of Sulphur and park officials gathered to celebrate the completion of the first permanent improvement in Platt National Park. The rock arch foot-bridge was christened “The Lincoln Bridge,” in honor of the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth on February 12, 1909. This Gothic Revival structure has stood for one hundred years as a treasured part of Platt National Park and today’s Platt Historic District in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area.”
