Long before the Whoop-Up Drive Bridge was ever
built, its future site was in fact a natural crossing, used
for generations by those in the area who had to cross
the river. At this natural crossing site, Nicholas Sheran
constructed a ferry crossing in the 1870s, and a ferry
stayed in operation at that site until the highway bridge,
now Highway 3, was constructed in 1890.
