In 1855, Reuben L. Partridge accepted a contract to build the first selfsupporting bridge in Union County. By 1866 Partridge was building bridges full-time and in 1872, he received a patent for his truss design. In his lifetime, he built more than 125 bridges, most of them in Union County and Ohio. In 1896, he designed a Victorian-style home in Marysville as a 50th wedding anniversary gift for his wife. This beautiful home, now on the National Register of Historic Places, aptly depicts the story of Union County’s prolific bridge builder.
