The Covered Horton Bridge at Amnicon State Park in Wisconsin is one of only six of its kind remaining. Named after the man who invented them in 1897 and 1898, Charles Horton, these bowstring bridges are held together not by rivets and bolts, but hooks and clips, making them relatively easy to assemble and disassemble. The arched beams, known as "bowstrings," give the bridges strength and durability.

Though it is not known when this 55-foot long bridge was originally built, it was moved to its current location in 1930 -- though it did not yet have a roof. The roof was added in 1939, then replaced in 1941 and again in 1971. Today the Covered Horton Bridge is popular both for tourists and as a wedding location.
