Conley's Ford Covered Bridge

Conley's Ford Covered Bridge in Parke County, Indiana, carries County Road 550 East over Big Raccoon Creek near County Road 720 South in Raccoon Township. Built in 1906 by J. Lawrence Van Fossen, it is a single-span Burr Arch Truss notable for being made of white pine rather than the more common poplar. It has been described as the world's fourth longest single-span covered bridge, underscoring its unusual scale for a rural crossing. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, it remains significant for both its engineering and its place in Parke County's well-known covered bridge heritage.
