NARROWS COVERED BRIDGE
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Narrows Covered Bridge crosses Sugar Creek in Turkey Run State Park, on its eastern boarder, in Section 26, Township 17 North, and Range 7 West, in Parke County. This single span Burr Arch Truss structure has a length of 121 feet, or 141 feet including the 10-foot overhang at each end, is 16 feet 6 inches wide and 12 feet 6 inches high. Built in 1882 (or 1883) by Joseph A. Britton, near the site where the Lusk Mill once stood, this structure was bypassed in 1960. Though no historical marker is present, the Narrows Covered Bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Narrows Covered Bridge is listed in the 1989 "World Guide to Covered Bridges," published by The National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges, Inc., as #14-61-36; however, the designation used by Parke County officials is #14-61-37. |
