There’s something so nostalgic about a covered bridge. It takes us back in time to when life wasn’t so fast paced, when we could slow down and appreciate fine craftsmanship. Among the many historic places in Michigan, covered bridges are some of the simplest yet most beautiful. Lucky for those of us who reside in the Great Lakes State, we’ve still got some of these covered bridges to appreciate. Some of these covered bridges near Detroit are now only open to foot traffic. Others are new and were designed to capture that old-timey feeling. Still others have been beautifully restored and maintain their original use. Have a look at some of the most marvelous covered bridges in Michigan.
