Photo of Historic Tunnelton Bridge

Excerpt from “Covered Bridges on the Byways of Indiana” by Bryan Ketcham that shows humorous application of given name: “During the summer months, the covered bridge is nearly hidden from view. As one approaches the span, it appears to be a tunnel made of wood. Yes, this is ‘Tunnel Town’.” Photo taken from West side.
