We live in Linn County, Oregon. They boast that we have the most covered bridges west of the Mississippi, so your thread caught my eye!

I have had my bike for about 3 weeks now and been at two of them so far.

There are 19 in all. They range from the shortest bridge in the US to the longest!

I see this as a CHALLENGE! I'm sure there are great Covered Bridges across the U.S.!!
Show what you got!

Grew up in Indiana. We took a school field trip to this festival back in 1975 or 76. Apparently it's still happening. https://www.coveredbridges.com/

Parke County is Home to Indiana’s Largest Festival, The Parke County Covered Bridge Festival™ and “The Covered Bridge Capital of the World” with our 31 Covered Bridges all found in a rustic, charming setting. Each covered bridge comes with its own unique past...

Anyhoo

On October is a covered bridge festival where you go around to all of them.

And visit the 30 + wineries in the area too btw...

This weekend I was able to go out for a couple of hours and visit two more covered bridges. These were built within 3 years of each other.
