(4 acres. In Garrett County, east of Grantsville on U.S. Route 40.) Across the Casselman River just east of Grantsville stands historic Casselman River Bridge. Originally constructed in 1813-14, the fine single arch stone bridge once served the old National Road which linked Cumberland, Maryland with the Ohio River.
The bridge continued in service until U.S. Route 40 also became an important east-west artery, just as the National Road had been. In 1933 a new steel bridge joined the banks of the Casselman River. The old stone bridge was partially restored by the State of Maryland in the mid-nineteen fifties and is now the center of Casselman River bridge State Park.
Casselman River Bridge is not handicapped accessible.
