Baker's Camp Covered Bridge

Science & Tech
Baker's Camp Covered Bridge, also called Hillis Bridge, is a historic covered road bridge in northern Putnam County, Indiana, east of Bainbridge, carrying County Road E 650 North over Big Walnut Creek. Built in 1901 by noted Indiana bridge builder J. J. Daniels, it uses a Burr arch truss that combines a large arch with a multiple-kingpost truss for added strength. Measuring 128 feet long, 14 feet wide, and 13 feet high, it is important both as part of Putnam County's covered-bridge landscape and as an example of Indiana bridge-building history. In 2024, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
