Illinois
Historic and authentic covered bridges of Illinois, home to nine surviving truss-built spans — down from an estimated 100 to 200 that once stood statewide — ranging from the 1854 Mary's River Bridge, the oldest in Southern Illinois, to modern truss reconstructions like the Jackson Covered Bridge on the historic National Road.
