Mansfield Covered Bridge. Parke County Indiana is often touted as
the “Covered Bridge Capital” of the world. While other states have
more covered bridges no other county can boast of more covered
bridges. As a matter of record, thirty-two of Indiana’s ninety-two
covered bridges are found in Parke Count. Many of the bridges still
serve local traffic on a daily basis. Some have been closed and have
a modern bridge build adjacent to them with a small picnic area for
weary festival travelers to rest and enjoy the construction
techniques used in the building of the bridges.
Most of the bridges rest on Indiana Sandstone that was quarried
locally in the Big Raccoon Valley. The quarry, Chicago Brownstone
Company, was open for years and exported stone for the building of
the famous Brown Stone buildings in Chicago and the east coast.
During its peak, the quarry employed seventy-five men and exported a
rail car of stone daily to help meet the needs of a growing America.
Tickets are only $37.50 per person. Invite your friends! There is
limited seating for this relaxing and enjoyable trip so please make
