| Wisconsin's Covered Bridge in Cedarburg. (dwm photo) |
My First blog with a bridge hinted more would follow, but it wasn't until June, 2017 they became a regular feature.
Indiana has 91. Wisconsin has 1. And that was going to be it, until I stumbled across one historic bridge in Minnesota, then found a few in Michigan and Illinois. There are at least ten in Iowa calling my name.
They are beautiful and unique. They are living pieces of history and art that helped our ancestors get us over water.
You are invited to follow the links to see the bridges I've visited and come along to check them out. In the summer of 2023, I added two of four bridges in Tennessee to go with two of four Missouri bridges photographed in 2021, check the video at the bottom of the page.
