Built by Jacob Berry of North Conway, this bridge is the fourth to span Swift River here since 1820. Freshets in 1844, 1865 and 1869 destroyed the first three. The bridge is named for James Holmes Durgin (1815 -73) who ran a grist mill near it; drove stage from Sandwich to Farmington; and was a link in the underground slave railroad, Sandwich to Conway.
