    When this bridge was built people traveled by wagon, coach, horseback and buggy or walking so they could shelter in them during bad weather until it passed but also it protected the wood to make them last longer.

    You might try Strawberry Point around Veteran's day or in the Spring with all the hanging baskets. Then, Backbone State Park. That beautiful park sustained heavy damage by flood. At this point, you aren't too far from Field of Dreams.

    I visited Winterset for a week in October during the Madison County Covered Bridge Festival held every year. It’s the greatest small town ever! My husband’s aunt lives there. It is truly like Mayberry! I’d live there if I could!

    Thank You for touring our city and sharing your experience. There's alot of history here. Henry Wallace grew up here. He was the VP for Theodore Rosevelt. George Washington carver and George Stout was born here. He was portrayed by George Clooney in the movie The Monuments Men. He retrieved the artwork that was stolen by Nazis. Maybe bring your son in Oct for our Covered Bridge Festival. Will have more additions for kids to play. Music and vendors.
    Stop into the Chamber of Commerce for more story telling.
