Possum Bottom Covered Bridge

Possum Bottom Covered Bridge, also known as Jackson's Ford Bridge and Hillsdale Bridge, is a historic covered bridge in Helt Township, Indiana. Built in 1876, it is a single-span Burr Arch Truss timber bridge measuring 131 feet long and 14 feet wide. In 1972, it was moved to its present site at Ernie Pyle Rest Park, preserving it as a local landmark instead of leaving it at its original crossing. As one of the small number of surviving 19th-century Indiana covered bridges, it reflects the state's traditional timber bridge building and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
