There are several reasons for this. First, the major builders of the bridges were from this area or close by. Second, Parke County is rich in the natural resources used to build bridges in those days. Thirdly, Parke County has countless meandering streams and creeks, seemingly more than other counties, and needed many bridges. Most bridges were built around small villages and communities and were usually associated with a mill. Fourth, the trade was so well known that the bridges were built to last. It takes arsonists, an act of God, or deliberate demolition to destroy a covered bridge.
