Originally this covered bridge crossed the East Fork of Tanner's Creek at the town of Guilford. This 119 foot long Burr arch truss structure was built by A.M. Kennedy & Sons in 1879, but was moved a few hundred yards when the new structure was built. Open to traffic (into the parking lot) this is one of three (3) covered bridges in Indiana that has a sprinkler system; it was restored in 1997.

Established in 1803 and named in honor of General Henry Dearborn, who was Secretary of War under Thomas Jefferson, this county is located in Southeastern Indiana and Lawrenceburg is the County Seat.

Dearborn County originally had twelve (12) known covered bridges. Today it has one (1) remaining.

Points of interest in the County include: The Ohio River and Hillforest Mansion.
