The Olin family has owned property next to the bridge since it was built.

[2] Members of the Olin family also operate a small museum and gift shop just east of the bridge at the house previously owned by Joyce Grandbouche.

The bridge’s WGCB number is 35-04-03,[3] and it is located approximately 3.6 mi (5.7 km) east of Ashtabula.

Alson and Alvina (Bennett) Olin were a pioneering family, coming to this area in 1832 from New York.

His son Alson Olin, bought land in 1860, next to where the bridge now sits.
