Historic National Road - Maryland
Casselman River Bridge State Park, MD

The Casselman River Bridge is located east of Grantsville, in an area known as “Little Crossings.” The bridge was the longest span of its kind when it was constructed in 1813 for the National Road. It is one of the many beautiful and innovative stone bridges designed specifically for the National Road. The structure can be seen easily from the National Freeway (I-68) as well as Alternate U.S. 40. Other features located near the bridge include the Penn Alps Restaurant and Crafts Shop, Spruce Forest Artisans Village, and Stanton’s Mill. A Western Gateway Visitor Facility is being planned to link the bridge with these resources. The Casselman River Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as is Stanton's Mill.
