- Significance: Local bridge builder J.J. Daniels built the West Union Bridge in 1876 to replace a washed out bridge. Daniels built nearly sixty covered bridges in Indiana between 1855 and ca. 1900. The bridge is 315' long, making it the longest in the county. The West Union Bridge is an excellent example of the Burr arch-truss and the accomplishments and ingenuity of Daniels.
