Wakeman, Ohio

Wakeman is a really neat little Village located on the northeast end of Huron County. It has an expansive history and I can honestly say I don't know much about it other than it was once a large railroad town and that an offshoot of the Lake Shore Electric Railway ran through it. So until I find some good history on the place here are a few shots I grabbed on the way home from a Christmas party.

Downtown Wakeman.

The park next to the old railroad bridge. You can actually see where the tracks were.

The abandoned railroad bridge. I'm glad they left it up, 

The replacement bridge on the right is US Route 20.

The railroad bridge. A brief scour of the internet revealed that it was built in 1853.

I know it isn't my normal thorough post, but I had some pictures and I didn't want to discard them.

Thanks for looking!
