Inscription
On June 20, 1863, Bill Hickman started a ferry 9 miles up Snake River for thousands of gold hunters headed for mines that now are in Montana.
Named for an eagle that had a nest on a rock there, his ferry flourished until James Madison Taylor replaced it two years later with a bridge across a narrow lava gorge here. Idaho Falls eventually grew up around Taylor's bridge.

The Coordinates Need Changed
The coordinates given here are wrong. The signs are actually located at 43°29'38.1"N 112°02'42.0"W. The coordinates given here put you in the Key Bank parking lot! I know. I spent hours locating the signs. The signs are on River Parkway on the west side of the Snake River about 300 ft north of West Broadway St.
