The Miller’s Bluff Bridge is located at latitude 32.892701 north, longitude -93.820155 west.1 The coordinate represents the center point of the bridge. It was obtained in 2016 by plotting its location in Google Earth. The location has no restriction on its release to the public. Present Owner: State of Louisiana. Present Use: Vehicular traffic. Significance: This Warren through truss bridge has significance for its association with important trends or events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Louisiana history. Its significance is demonstrated in the area of transportation as a major river crossing that eliminated a former ferry crossing. The bridge was constructed by the Louisiana Department of Highways (LDH) from 1952 to 1955 to provide an uninterrupted east-west highway through the northern portion of Louisiana. Carrying LA 2, this bridge constitutes the only crossing of the Red River in Louisiana north of Shreveport and was the first bridge crossing of the Red River at this location.

  • Frank Inge Derby Scrapbook
    Frank Inge Derby Scrapbook Location: First floor display cabinet Date Span: 1918-1960 Scope/Contents: The scrapbook is contained within the pages of a bound ledger used at one time as a business ledger by Cobb & Derby, and the first pages contain line items detailing business transactions. The scrapbook of clippings, photos and information begins on page 119. It chronicles Derby's organization and execution of a successful plan to span the Tombigbee River on U.S. Highway 80 with a bridge built from the auction of prize roosters. The project garnered national attention and international support. The scrapbook details the organization of the project, the historic auction and the correspondence, honors and awards following the event, which was held on August 14-15, 1919. Biographical Note: Frank Inge Derby (1881-1963) was a Sumter County, Alabama, businessman and community supporter. An early trader of livestock in Sumter County, Derby is credited with advancements he made in the cattle-raising industry; he was the first in the State of Alabama to import registered Shorthorn bulls to improve local cattle. He was also the first in the state to dip cattle to kill ticks causing tick fever. Derby is also well known for his ability to raise money and public awareness using livestock and poultry. To raise money for the Red Cross on July 2, 1918, he had Shorthorn bulls shipped to Birmingham; fifty-seven bulls donated by fifty consignors profited the Red Cross at least $100,000. Less than a year later, on June 7, 1919, Derby held a rooster and small livestock sale to raise money to build and improve roads in York, Alabama.
