Saving the Moscow Covered Bridge in Indiana

by Wayne Goodman, Executive Director, Landmark Society of Western NY  

Destroyed by a devasting tornado in 2008, the community and state rallied to save the Moscow covered bridge. The double-span covered bridge served not only as a needed crossing of the Flat Rock River but was also symbolic of the tiny Indiana town’s identity. A colossal and coordinated effort saved this bridge, which is still in use today.
