Imes Covered Bridge 1881
Imes Covered Bridge
We visited Winterset, Iowa to have some repair work done on our RV. So we took the time to visit the cover bridges, known as the "The Bridges of Madison County."
The oldest of the remaining covered bridges, Imes was built in 1870 and is 81 feet in length. It was originally located over the Middle River west of Patterson. In 1887 it was moved to a spot over Clinton Creek southwest of Hanley. Imes Bridge was moved again to its present location over a natural ravine just east of St. Charles in 1977. It was renovated in 1997 at a cost of $31,807.
