What a cool little treat on our road trip. We love covered bridges and had to turn around and check this one out. So much history here.

Been seeing folks post pictures of this place for a while. On a trip back home saw the exit and ventured to it. Only a few miles off the interstate, definitely worth a quick trip to check it out.
