Mansfield Village Celebrates The
Covered Bridge Festival
October 10-19, 2008
8 am - 6 pm Daily
The Mansfield Village celebration of the Covered Bridge Festival is unlike nowhere else in the county. As hundreds of thousands of 
visitors gather in October every year in Parke County, Indiana, the Mansfield Covered Bridge stands out as one of the most visited. Built in 1867, this bridge is 247 feet long and was built by J. J. Daniels to cross Big Raccoon Creek. It is an icon that continues to remind us of a simpler time.
The majestic Mansfield Covered Bridge is at the center of activity during the festival in this historic village located in the southern part of Parke County.
Just up the creek, stands the 1920’s Mansfield Roller Mill still in operation today.
