Portland Mills Covered Bridge
Portland Mills Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Parke County, United States.
The Portland Mills Covered Bridge spans 146 feet across Little Raccoon Creek with wooden frame construction and traditional siding measuring 16 feet wide.
Henry Wolf constructed this bridge in 1856 using the Burr arch truss design, making it the second oldest covered bridge in Parke County.
The structure represents a period of American transportation engineering when covered bridges protected wooden trusses from weather deterioration across rural waterways.
Visitors access the bridge at the intersection of County Road E 650N and Saddle Club Road, with eight additional historical markers within seven miles.
In 1961, workers disassembled and relocated the bridge from Big Raccoon Creek to replace the Dooley Station Bridge destroyed by arson.
