All of the bridges are European-styled limestone arch bridges. The German immigrants that settled in Monroe County brought with them this design. Midway through the Eighteenth Century they started builiding these sturdy bridges that could stand up to the weather. The bridges were built with local limestone and placed above creeks and streams. Time has proven how sturdy they are because they still stand perfectly today. I knew that I had to do this stone bridge drive!
