The Wilson Pratt Truss Bridge is a Pratt Truss bridge over the Chapman creek near Chapman, Kansas that was built in 1904. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It was built by the Canton Bridge Co. and is an excellent example of this type of bridge along with the nearby Chapman Creek Pratt Truss Bridge. The bridge spanning the creek is 90 feet (27 m) long. It has a wood deck. There are two additional approach spans on either side of the bridge for a total length of 165 feet (50 m). Due to its location on a dirt road, it has been mostly left alone and does not carry much traffic.^[2] It is also denoted as 21-HT-1 and as KSHS Inventory # 041-0000-0169.^[1]
