Burfordville Covered Bridge is the oldest remaining covered bridge in Missouri. Construction began in 1858 and was completed around the Civil War.The bridge is next to the Bollinger Mill built around the same period and is a visit well worth a trip into history.
OUR TRIP TO THE BRIDGE
STARTS AT JACKSON,MISSOURI
TAKE HIWAY 72 WEST THEN
LEFT AT HIWAY 34 TO BURFORDVILLE
THEN EXIT TO JCT 00
STRAIGHT AHEAD 1/2 MILE TO
JCT HH AND THE STATE
PARK PARKING AREA IS ON YOUR RIGHT
GO TO THE HEAD OF THE BRIDGE
AND LOOK DOWN ITS LENGTH
A COVERED SHORT WALK
THAT TAKES NO SPECIAL STRENGTH
AT THE END OF THE SPAN
GO LEFT THEN DOWN UNDER
IT TAKES NO SPECIAL PLAN
AND THE CONSTRUCTION A WONDER
IT IS BUILT WITH PEGS AND PINS
WHERE THE BOX IS HIDDEN
A PLACE SAFE FROM WINDS
LOOK UP AND UNDER
THE TIMBERS AND SHIMS
