Since it was in the park, we just drove by it since we've been to the other bridges years ago. so easy to get to ;) we were tired after walking around john wayne's museums, his birth place, quilt museum, and mercantile store! to tired to get out again.

Constructed in 1870 by Eli Cox, this 79 foot long timber town lattice truss covered bridge is the second oldest of the six surviving in Madison County. Originally traversing the North River, in 1979 it was moved to its present location inside Winterset City Park. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. There is ample parking, and access to the park is paved. The fall foliage is breathtaking.

The Cutler-Donahoe Covered Bridge in Winterset City Park is an easy find if you may not be able to see other covered bridges in Madison County. This old bridge was moved to this location and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This is certainly worth your time to see this bridge and look back on some history of this area. Walk on it, through it, around it…. Enjoy it!

This was our 3rd and final bridge for the day and I'm really happy we came to see it. The park was lovely, wooden sculpture creative and easy to park and walk around. Thanks for preserving it and making it part of the total experience.
