Nelson Cemetery Walk

The Nelson Cemetery Walk is a historic pedestrian walkway in Nelson, Nebraska. It was built in 1912 by J.B. Goodrich with fundraising from the local P.E.O. Sisterhood chapter, and designed by A.W. McReynolds.[2] It spans a ravine which otherwise splits the community. It is 1,235 feet (376 m) long and 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. It is not a bridge per se, because it descends partway down into the ravine, but its surface is about 50 feet (15 m) above the lowest part of the ravine.[2] It was originally unpaved.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 5, 2002.[1]
