History
Michigan History magazine. This month's feature: Discovering our Covered Bridges.
The last three of the state's historic covered bridges—built more than a century ago—still carry rural traffic. The Langley, White and Fallasburg bridges can all be found in southwest Michigan, yet there are two other noteworthy bridges with the look and feel of century–old construction: one at Greenfield Village in Dearborn and another in Frankenmuth.
