As you take Pa 18 from New Brighton to Beaver Falls you will run across the strange remnants of an other Era.
A small dam in the beaver river one of many and even stranger steel and objects sticking out of it.
The remnants are from the old 10th st bridge which once crossed across the dam .
But this is only part of the tale the dam is a remnant from the Pennsylvania Canal and went all the way to Erie at one time.
Most people do not realize we had an extensive canal system in Pa as well as later railroad and Trolleys
All Thru Pa and Ohio you will find remnants here and there of the past
Sometime deep in the woods .
A forgotten period in History is said Abraham Lincoln secretively traveled along the canal as well
