Places to See
Cribstone Bridge. This unique bridge was built in the 1920's and joined Orr's Island and Bailey Island - spanning Will's Gut. It was made of granite stone slabs quarried in Yarmouth and Pownal, Maine. It
is the only bridge like it in the world and is now a historical site. A newer bridge has since replaced it. (see the picture at right).
