Site of Wood's Ferry and Wood's Bridge

In 1852, immediately after his arrival and completion of his cabin, Wood proceeded to build a ferryboat and establish the crossing known as Wood's Ferry. In 1858, he built a toll bridge at the old ferry crossing, charging $1 for a pair of animals and wagon, and .50 extra for every additional pair of animals with the wagon.

Citation from California Office of Historic Preservation

The ferry and bridge would have been near the Woodbridge dam. We could not find a commemorative plaque. Here's a list of other California Historical Landmarks which had no bear flag plaque when we visited them.
