Newbold (Louie) Wakely, son of Robert and Mary, is believed to have built the Wakely Road Bridge in 1893. It is one of the few stone-arch bridges remaining in the state. It is currently on the list of Wisconsin Endangered Historic Places and was admitted to the Wisconsin and National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The best view of the bridge can be seen from the footbridge across Wakely Creek.
