The Nevins Covered Bridge crosses Little Raccoon Creek on County Road 130 East, just southeast of Catlin, in Section 4, Township 14 North, and Range 7 West, Parke County. This single span Burr Arch Truss structure has a length of 155 feet, or 168 feet including the 7-foot overhang at each end, is 16 feet wide and 13 feet high. Built in 1920 by Joseph A. Britton and Son, it was named in honor of nearby resident Levine Nevins. Though no historical marker is present, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Nevins 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 #14-61-05; however, the designation used by Parke County officials is #14-61-14.
