Covered Bridges
Covered Bridges of Park County- we were told about a small town in Indiana named Rockville where they have over 30 covered bridges around their town.
So we had to stop for a visit and check some of them out. I have never photographed or even drove through a covered bridge. Very interesting and quite the technology that goes into to building one of these.
Most of them were built a long time ago as well. This one was built in 1867.
While Parke County’s covered bridges are now beloved tourist attractions—and the county actively moves some for preservation and accessibility—most bridges were originally built locally over the last 150+ years. Only a select few have been relocated for reasoned preservation and public display.
Underneath this bridge I found this old rusty wagon, those must have been a ruff ride with those wheels.

33win7bet? Why not, right? Threw a few dollars their way and honestly, had a surprisingly good time. The site felt secure, which is always a plus in my book. Check it out 33win7bet.
Very nice Sandra – I didn’t know they had that many bridges, nor they were that old. Covered bridges look so picturesque!
Great to have seen this. Thank you.
Gwen.
Do you know for what Reading the bridges are covered?
Kind regards,
Mainly to protect the wooden trusses. So the bridges would last longer. It said it also provided cover for people and helped horses, as they might spook going over those wooden bridges with no sides.
