The Lake County Fairgrounds Covered Bridge.

This is the 'Milroy' or Shelhorn' covered bridge that was built in 1878 over the Flat Rock River, south of Milroy, Indiana by A.M. Kennedy and Sons. The Bridge was moved in 1933 from Rush County, Indiana to this site in Lake County, Indiana by Colonel John W. Wheeler. John Wheeler, son of the first Mayor of Crown Point, bought the bridge for $25, saving the structure from demolition. It measures 85 feet plus a 10 foot overhang by 16 feet wide and stands 14 feet high.
