COVERED BRIDGE CALENDARS

A PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT!

Single Calendar $10.00

Package of 10 Calendars $59.00

Chances are, not may folks stopped in the middle of a covered bridge to comment on its beauty or ingenious construction 100 years ago. They simply used it to cross a body of water.

Yet what was built with an ordinary purpose has become for many a source of extraordinary beauty; a muse for lovers, artists and writers; a focal point for wedding planners; and a curiosity for engineers and tourists. Unfortunately they are also fragile, often falling prey to vandalism and arson.

Parke County's thirty-one remaining treasures give good reason for calling us the Capital of Covered Bridge Country, with the oldest dating back to 1856 and the newest to 2006.

This beautiful, full-sized calendar showcases a different Parke County Covered Bridge each month. The calendar includes dates for the 2012 Parke County Festivals and Special Events.
