The POTTER'S FORD Bridge
World Guide #14-29-01

Crossing the West Fork of White River and constructed with a Howe truss, this 259 foot long double span structure was built by Josiah Durfee in 1871 and it was bypassed in 1971. Closed to traffic, the Potter's Ford bridge was restored in 1999 to include a beautiful park at the north portal.

Established in 1823 and named in honor of Alexander Hamilton, one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence, this county is located in Central Indiana where Noblesville is the County Seat.

Hamilton County originally had six (6) covered bridges. Today it has two (2) remaining.

Points of interest in the County include: Connor Prairie Pioneer Settlement, Geist Reservoir and the Museum of Transport & Communication.
