The Iron Bridges of Tebb's Bend
Historic Civil War Battleground
Located just North of KY Hwy 55 Green River Bridge, on the West side of KY Hwy 55; and, also on the West side of Tebb's Bend Road, which is old KY Hwy 55.
Just downstream of Green River Dam; emphasis on "Just".
Originally a part of the immense Hall Brothers Farm and adjacent to The Homeplace on Green River.
This is the 1907 Green River Bridge, built in March 1907 by Vincennes Bridge Company.
Nine-panel Pratt Through Truss
It was condemned and closed to traffic 20-August-2014.
On 17-April-2015, it was lifted from its piers and set in the river, then drug from the river and hauled to where it now sits near the Tebb's Bend Battlefield Museum and Visitor Center.
There were at least three wooden covered bridges that preceded this one.
Note the jet plane in the point of the bottom quadrant.

Thanks for looking; many many more to come as I get(take) time; I hope you like it.
