Pictures Info.

The Tannehill Covered Bridge is no longer standing … it crossed the Driftwood River on or near County Road 650, Bartholomew County. This double span Howe Truss structure had a length of 236 feet, with a portal clearance of 16 feet 6 inches wide by 18 feet high. Built in 1870, and was probably named for the nearby Tannehill's Mill; the bridge was lost in 1965.

George Gould identified a World Guide number of 14-02-03 for the Tannehill Covered Bridge in his book "Indiana Covered Bridges Thru the Years," published in 1977 by the Indiana Covered Bridge Society, Inc. In the February 1938 "Indiana History Bulletin" Robert B. Yule and Richard C. Smith assigned the designation "ke" to this Covered Timber Bridge llocated in Section 21, Township 10 North, and Range 5 East, 1-1/2 miles southwest of Taylorsville.
