Theorosa's Bridge, Protected bridge over Jester Creek in Valley Center, Kansas.

Theorosa's Bridge is a concrete structure spanning Jester Creek at the intersection of 109th Street North and Meridian. It serves as a link between the communities of Sedgwick and Valley Center.

The original iron and wood structure was destroyed by fire in 1974. The current concrete bridge was then built at the same location.

The bridge holds a place in regional storytelling, where several accounts of lost children and grieving mothers have become intertwined in local folklore. These narratives have made the structure a notable reference point in Kansas's cultural memory.

The bridge remains accessible throughout the year and can be visited at any time. Many visitors arrive in the evening hours, so plan your visit accordingly for lighting conditions.

The location is known for reports of temperature changes and unexplained lights appearing near the structure. These phenomena have drawn the attention of those interested in investigating such occurrences.
