Crybaby Bridge
Rogues Hollow


Near the mill and spanning Silver Creek is Wayne County's notorious Crybaby Bridge. The story goes that a young woman was spurned by her sweetheart when he found out she was pregnant. When the child was born, she tossed it into the cold waters. If you stand on the bridge, you can hear the child's wails. And you might even see the
mournful mama. She stands along the edge, staring into the water, forever lamenting her awful feat.
