George Hutchins Covered Bridge
Posted November 18, 2008, by Dan Drzewiecki (dfdrzewo [at] att [dot] net)

I have a photo of the George Huntchins Bridge when it still stood in Madison Township. I took the photo on 3/3/1985 with a 35mm SLR camera.

If you are interested, I can get it scanned at Walgreen's and send you a copy.
