Description

The 6th and final Bridge of Madison County Iowa, Roseman Covered Bridge. Probably the most famous of all 6 Bridges, due to the roll it played in the movie and book. I hope you’ve enjoyed the Bridges of Madison County and in some small way, I’ve captured the essence of these most wonderful places of history. The 107' Roseman Covered Bridge was in 1883 by Benton Jones, and sits in its original location. The Roseman Bridge was renovated in 1992 at a cost of $152,515. The Roseman Covered Bridge is the bridge Robert Kincaid is looking for when he stops at Francesca Johnson's for directions and the location where Francesca leaves her note inviting him to dinner in the Robert James Waller's novel The Bridges of Madison County. Roseman Covered Bridge has also been called the haunted bridge because in 1892 two sheriff's posses trapped a county jail escapee in the bridge. Legend says that the man cried out, rose up straight through the roof of the bridge and disappeared. Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting and for any comments you should care to leave. Thanks for the favs. on my last post, Have a great and creative weekend!

Nice shot of this bridge! I'm going to have to check your gallery out and see the others as well. Haven't read the book or seen the movie, but I'll definitely have to check out the bridges.

As soon as I spotted the thumb of this bridge, I knew it just had to be from the movie with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep... Thank you for sharing the 'real thing' plus all the other relevant info, what a trip - I loved it, BB
