Ohio has 127 historic truss covered bridges. This bridge has a really interesting story... . The Rinard Covered Bridge was originally built in 1871, but was destroyed in a flood. After being rebuilt in 1876, three separate floods swept it away (1913, 1938, & 2004). Due to the strength of the bridge's architecture, the framework was sturdy enough for the bridge to remain intact and be put back. After remaining intact after being swept away in the 2004 flood, a second flood a few weeks later destroyed the bridge. Money was raised and the original trusses were saved to rebuild the bridge you see today. #StoriesMatter #Stories #LPPine #CoveredBridges (at Rinard Covered Bridge)

Shieldstown Covered Bridge : 1876 "The bridge has sat exposed since last fall. While it makes for neat pictures, it is not good on the wood. It will sit through another winter exposed if it survives. If you look closely, you can see where the arch is split and broken as it comes down into one of the abutments. Obviously that is not good for the bridge wood to be exposed. With the harsh weather of the Indiana winter coming soon, it will sustain more damage. There had been talk about wrapping the bridge in plastic to try and help protect it in winter. Thankfully the state decided not to do that. This step would have been bad since the plastic would have contained the moisture and caused even more damage. So now it just sits there damaged and exposed. We will be lucky if they get her covered and restored. It is a shame because at one time it was a nice bridge." #lppine Andy Rebman, Indiana Covered Bridge Society President (at Shieldstown Covered Bridge)

"...keep on following those dreams. As cliché as that is you know, it's pretty important. You need to remind the kids that this is your life; you do what you need and want to do. It's simple, but that's what it should be about." Wyatt LeGrand. 🖌🎨 Be sure to check our @youtube page for the story this weekend. #lppine (at Bloomfield Town Park)
