Ceylon Covered Bridge was built in the late 19th Century to carry County Road 950S over the Wabash River near Ceylon, a small settlement just north of the small town of Geneva, in rural Adams County, Indiana. I'm not sure of the date for the bridge's construction. The signs on the bridge say 1860, but the town of Geneva's website has a page about the bridge's history that says it was built in 1879!
The part of the river that the bridge crosses is now a meander that has been partially disconnected from the main stream, which had shifted its course at some point after the bridge was built. A modern bridge nearby crosses the main part of the river, so the covered bridge has been closed to traffic and preserved as a historic site. It was renovated in 2012. The Ceylon Bridge is the only one remaining out of the twenty three covered bridges that once crossed the Wabash, which is Indiana's longest river.

In August, 1952, we stayed at this hotel in Nuwara Eliya. Beautiful setting in cenral Ceylon and a favorite of the British on holiday.
Organic white Ceylon tea
As far as I know mostly black teas are produced in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). However, I especially like their green (and white) teas with their classy and fresh taste. This is not a cheap tea, but definitely worth its money.

A postally unused postcard that was published by John & Co. of Ceylon. The card has a divided back.
Located in Adams Co. IN, originally spanned the Wabash River, but over time the river shifted and it stradled a back channel. Total length, 140 ft., built around 1860. Bypassed in '74, now surrounded by roadside park.
