State Sanatorium Covered Bridge

The State Sanatorium Covered Bridge is a single-span Kingpost Truss Burr Arch structure with a span length of 154 feet, constructed in 1913 by Joseph A. Britton. It is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures. The bridge was originally located nearly one mile downstream, and a decision was made to rehabilitate it and relocate it to this site. Before its move, this site had been the location of two other covered bridges: the Adams Bridge, destroyed by flood in 1969, and the Jessup Bridge, blown off its abutments during high winds in 1989. The State Sanatorium Covered Bridge was then rehabilitated and moved to this new location.
