The construction of the 182-foot-span at War Eagle was development in the growing economy in northwest Arkansas. Built by the Illinois Steel Bridge Company in 1907, the War Eagle Bridge is significant as one of six Parker through trusses in Arkansas. The bridge is located next to a reconstructed grist mill, which is fourth in a series of mills on the same site dating back to 1832.
