The Cutler-Donahoe Covered Bridge was built in 1871 by Eli Cox and originally spanned the North River in Madison County, Iowa. It uses a Town lattice truss and features a distinctive pitched roof added during a later restoration. In 1970 the bridge was relocated to Winterset City Park, where it now serves as a pedestrian bridge and tourist attraction. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains one of the six surviving Madison County covered bridges.
