The historic Hargrove Bridge, the only "swing-draw" or pivot bridge remaining in Missouri, crosses Black River upstream from Highway 53. Built in 1917, the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The bridge was closed in 1993, due to flood debris.
A government grant sponsored the funding for Butler county to hire the J.W.Githens Co. to renovate the bridge, and the historic bridge was re-opened in 1999. The pivoting center span once allowed the passage of steamboats, and is no longer functional. (Original Photo by: John R. Stanard - is modified for water motion by: Mary Hudson)

If you have a map, it is where Highway 62 crosses the St. Francis.
There is a nice little park with signs telling about the Civil War
John S. Marmaduke advanced into Missouri. Forced to retreat before
superior Union forces, the Confederates on May 1-2 fought a successful
delaying action here while their army crossed the swollen St. Francis River
on a makeshift floating bridge.
on a "crazy, trembling bridge, constructed of a series of rafts secured
with strong ropes, " and on May 2, fired a farewell shot at the stymied
Union forces from the heights on the opposite (Arkansas) side of the river.
