Mill Creek Bridge is a historic structure located in a rural area north of
pony truss bridges in the state of Iowa.[2] Citizens in Dayton Township petitioned the Cedar County Board of Supervisors in June 1888 for the bridge over Mill Creek. The supervisors contracted with Ward and Keepers of Clinton, Iowa to design and build the bridge. The 58-foot (1,800 cm) span was built on concrete-filled iron cylinder piers, with timber stringer approach spans.[2] Over the years sub-structural alterations have been made to the bridge. It has subsequently been abandoned and its deck is in a deteriorating condition. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] It was relocated to Whitetails Saloon in 2020[3]
