Ackley Covered Bridge
Ackley, Joshua, 1804-1881 and Clouse, Daniel, 1811-18951832/1832
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
In addition to lending some charm, covering a bridge protects its wooden truss work from weather, extending the structure's service life. Joshua Ackley and Daniel Clouse built the Ackley Covered Bridge in 1832, across Wheeling Creek in southwestern Pennsylvania. Henry Ford acquired the bridge in 1937, when it was scheduled to be torn down, and moved it to Greenfield Village.
