Location (Address)
The memorial plaque commemorating the Bar Mills and Canal bridges is currently located on the Buxton shore of the Bar Mills Bridge linking Buxton and Hollis (over the Saco River), on route 4A. The bridge is being dismantled, and it is likely that the granite monument and plaque will be relocated.
