Possum Bottom Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Helt Township, Indiana.

Possum Bottom Covered Bridge is a single-span covered timber bridge measuring 131 feet long and 14 feet wide, built with a Burr Arch Truss. It now stands at the Ernie Pyle Rest Park in Helt Township, Vermillion County, Indiana, where its wooden truss and roof can be seen up close.

Possum Bottom Covered Bridge was built in 1876 as a single-span timber Burr Arch Truss structure. It carried traffic until it was moved in 1972 to its present site at the Ernie Pyle Rest Park in Helt Township, Vermillion County, Indiana. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

The bridge received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, representing the engineering methods and transportation infrastructure of the 19th century.

The bridge stands at the Ernie Pyle Rest Park, just off Indiana State Road 63 north of the town of Dana, so it is reached by car and seen on foot within the park grounds. Parking and picnic areas are at hand in the rest park, making it a convenient stop rather than a remote detour.

The structure was known by multiple names including Jackson's Ford and Hillsdale, reflecting its role in local history. Today it sits in a relocated setting where it remains accessible to those interested in heritage structures.
