Sun May 15, 2016 – The Jug Bridge demijohn that once stood at the entrance to the 5-arch 1808 stone bridge that spanned the Monocacy River just east of Frederick until shortly after its partial collapse in 1942. The original 1805 'Baltimore and Frederick – Town section of the first leg of the National Road has long since been replaced by Rte 40 and later I-70. 

The Jug Bridge monument was relocated in 1965 to its present location on Bowman Farm Road, at the intersection of I-70 and West Patrick Street not far from the Frederick Airport, Fairgrounds and the public safety campus.
