Covered Bridge at Mill Race Park

Built in 1840, the New Brownsville Covered Bridge is Indiana’s only surviving long-truss bridge. Originally spanning the East Fork of the Whitewater River, the bridge was later relocated to Mill Race Park, where it now serves as both a historic landmark and a focal point of Michael Van Valkenburgh’s award-winning park design. Its weathered timbers stand as a reminder of Indiana’s transportation heritage while providing a beloved backdrop for community life.
