The Zumbrota Covered Bridge is the last remaining historic covered bridge in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It has been restored and is located in Covered Bridge Park in Zumbrota, Minnesota. The bridge was completed in November 1869 as a replacement for Zumbrota's original bridge which was destroyed by the spring flood of that year. The bridge has latticed wooden-trusses and is structured to look like a barn; it is 116-feet long, and has a 15-feet wide roadway.[1] The covered portion of the bridge

We are home to 31 Covered Bridges and at one time had as many as 53 covered bridges! ❤️ The purpose for covering a bridge is to shield the wood from the elements, extending their lifespan. It is estimated that uncovered wooden bridges have a 20-year lifespan, whereas covered can have an upwards of 100 years! ✨ | Parke County Indiana | Facebook
