On June 3, 2008, a devastating tornado swept through Moscow, Indiana and the surrounding community. The force of the tornado dislodged the bridge from its abutments and sent it crashing into
the Flatrock River below. Immediately following the storm, the County Commissioners took swift action to salvage and preserve as much of the bridge's structure as possible with the hope of
rebuilding the bridge in its original location. To anyone that has ever had any curiosity about how a Covered Bridge was built (with the technology that existed in 2010) this book is for you.
One of Ed's goals is that this book will answer those questions. He has included a page that will provide you with unique facts about the bridge's construction and some of the engineering
drawings that were specific to this bridge. There is a representation of the community fund raising plaque that is posted inside the bridge. Along with the construction processes there are many
photos of the dedication ceremony and the families that are responsible for the bridge both past and present.Along with the details of the Moscow Bridge, Ed has included photos and information
on 16 other Covered Bridges in Southeast Indiana which make for excellent day trips while you are in the area.
