MISSOURI
There are four covered bridges in Missouri, all of which are recognized as state historic sites.
Built in 1872 as one of six bridges to connect Hillsboro and St. Louis, Sandy Creek's red barn-like appearance is a favorite for photographers. ***** In northern Missouri, you'll find the white Union Covered This bridge dates back to 1868, when it was built as a link in one of the earliest transcontinental roads. At 151 feet, it's the longest of Missouri's four covered bridges. ***** Located at Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, near Cape Girardeau, the bridge is currently closed due to construction. The historic mill dates back to the Civil War era.
