Comments: Poking about in the general store in the converted Bridgeton Mill I saw this cool shot from the window. Baker’s Camp Bridge — Also know as Hillis Bridge, it was built in 1901 by J.J. Daniels and is of the Burr Arch type. This single-span bridge over Big Walnut Creek is 128’ long, plus a 10’ overhang at each end. This bridge is only 14’ wide and 13’ high with cut stone abutments and a sheet metal roof. Shot taken from the window of the Bridgeton Mill. Indiana boasts some of the nations oldest and most interesting covered bridges. Here the Bridgetown 1868 spans across the river to the Bridgetown Roller Mill and store. Covered to preserve them through extreme summers and winters, most were built by a handful of builders whose work lasts to this day. Full covered bridge and mill coverage. Cool stuff.
