Two Bayou Covered Bridge
Posted December 11, 2009, by Donna (djrusty [at] verizon [dot] net)

I have located an original copy of this bridge in a 1995 book about the Dean family. it was Charles Augustus Dean, John Thomas Ross and Charles R. Barham; that built this bridge. The bridge was build starting in Oct., 1860 and torn down 79 years later which would be abt. 1939. Are you interested in seeing a copy of this picture of the bridge. It is the same as the pic you have facing the bridge (as if you were going to go through the bridge), but the sign on the bridge is different. Ths sign has two words on it, but is damaged and I cannot make out the two words. Please advise.
