Shepherd's Bridge

Shepherd's Bridge is an old stone bridge outside of the town of Kingsport. No longer in modern use, the bridge is at the edge of Memorial Park and is used to cross a small but deep and fast-moving waterway.

The bridge dates back to the Revolutionary War and has been maintained by private donation over the years to ensure its condition. Down on the water's edge, on one side of the foundation, is a large, copper-clad, bronze door that has the sign of the Shepherd's Cross upon it - suggesting a connection to "The Shepherds" organization out of Boston.
