Wow, I've passed this bridge so many times on my way to visit Grandpa, and I've never really paid much attention.  It's amazing how we live among such rich history and really don't even realize it.  Thanks for sharing, next time I drive past, I'll have to give notice.

Barbara - Thanks for sharing the history of this covered bridge in my backyard.  I love covered bridges and have photos of these bridges from a trip to Vermont.
