History

Construction

Joseph A. Britton built this bridge the same year that he built the Phillips Covered Bridge. The location listed is an estimate of where the bridge was actually located. It appears from comparing modern satellite photos to an old Parke County Atlas the location of the bridge may be flooded by a lake now.^[2]

Destruction

In 1957, when this bridge and the Weisner Covered Bridge were both destroyed in the same flood, the idea for a Parke County Covered Bridge Festival was born.
