We drove by on the way back home to Chicago and took a good long hard stop at this bridge in this tiny town to explore and be amazed at the wondering thoughts. We can’t wait to come back during season!
It was fantastic we visited the weekend of the covered bridge festival had a great time got some great finds Hope to go again next year Thanks we had fun
Love going to Mensfield IN, we love shopping at the five & Dime store. The town is small & Quaint with lots to see & a lot of wonderful shops selling everything they U need & thing U didn't know U needed.
Benjamin restaurant is the best food every.
I couldn't wait to have there Breakfast & the pies & cake was off the ⛓️?
Love this little town been going over 10 year now ❤️❤️❤️
Was there during the covered bridge festival little overcrowded but the bridge and Mill itself were pretty nice. Might come back in the off season to get a better look
We went during their festival. Loads of vendors and food stands. Atmosphere was great, people were great, overall good experience. The bridge itself was very pretty and had a great view.
Went for the covered bridge festival. Parking was $5. There were tons of vendors but so much of the same stuff, bulk order items. Would much rather have handmade and unique items. Food was fine, basically fair food
Love the area but the festival has turned into a bunch of retail & Temu vendors. Hardly any handcrafts or antiqus. Peoplewere set up dothe road about 5 miles who said the festival booths have becometoo expensivefor individuals. So sad. ?.
So much fun. Tons of food, desserts and drinks. Plenty of fun stuff to buy. Be sure and stop by the Amish stands gorgeous quilts and yummy cookies and jams. Go!!!!! Wear your walking shoes and take or buy a shopping cart!!
Can't believe I haven't been in previous years. Very very cool event with great food and plenty of vendors. Highly advise arriving early as when we left the line went on for miles.
Mansfield was our 1st stop & we got there early. Lots of good food & plenty of shopping options. As the day went on it became busier & hotter. A typical fall indiana day. Plan your day well visiting your favorite sites 1st. It is a long wait between towns. We were only able to squeeze in two. We all had a fun time!!
Average festival as always no real big surprises . Parking was ample and easy to find though ,traffic wasn't terrible . The vendors are plentiful,tons of yummy foods ther ris done thing for everyone. The wares sold are great if you are looking for crafts ,Chinese knock offs or typical flea market items . Shout put to the place that sells beniets cause they were amazing! We go every year for that and persimmon flavored things
I came across the Historic Mansfield Covered Bridge during a gravel ride and was genuinely struck by its beauty. Nestled in a peaceful rural setting, this wooden bridge exudes character and charm. The craftsmanship is impressive, and the way it blends into the natural surroundings makes it a perfect photo stop or rest point.
What makes it even more special is the sense of stepping back in time riding over the wooden planks, you can almost hear the echoes of horse-drawn carriages from the past. It's well-maintained and clearly cherished by the local community.
Whether you're into history, architecture, or just scenic gravel routes, this bridge is a gem worth visiting.
Not as well maintained as others in the area but also still a working bridge. Looks like it's a real destination at certain times of the year as there are vendor stalls everywhere but nothing open on our visit. Just quiet and boarded up. Pretty to walk around the mill grounds.
What a blast! Shop till you drop, that's for sure. Bridges were so cool. There are so many vendors, something for everyone. New traditions I can't wait till next year. Time to start saving my quarters for next year
My first time to experience a covered bridge festival and it was so fun. Oh my goodness all the different food vendors were amazing and all the different merch booths were fun to browse through. Great experience for entire family. Will attended again next year but will try to arrive earlier in the morning as it's a pretty long walk from the back rows of a rainy pasture if you have disabled loved ones or are wheelchair bound. Highly Recommend giving this event a Go♡
This festival lasts' thru October 22nd, this is a must go to event with many vendors, and great tasting food, in which it is expensive. It's only once a year. They have all kinds of different things to buy. Great place to take your family too and make it a tradition. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. They also give helicopter rides also, and parking only cost $5.00, at Jim's parking. Go check this place out, they mave have something you have been looking for.
I love visiting this place. The bride is very beautiful and kept up so well. The water running under it makes it such a peaceful place to be. During the covered bridge festival there are so many people who are enjoying the view. I recommend a visit all seasons because it gives it a different experience with each one. Definitely a must see! Bridge photos are fun to take. The handicap ♿️ access is not bad at all. So get off the sofa and adventure out to this historic bridge and relax in nature. ✌️
Great festival every year. Great food and loads of different things to shop for. Beautiful scenery. This is the best way to end the fall, the trees are exploded with brilliant colors, the smells of all the foods fill the air. Definitely a must see and experience! The view of the river from the bridge is something that you have to see. For our handicap ♿️ family and friends they do have scooters for rent. I have to admit that my favorite to taste will probably always be the kettle corn ?, the aroma of it fills the air...I can almost smell it now!!
If you get the chance go to any of the festivals they have here every year. the covered bridge festival is the biggest. Just recently went to a mushroom / car Festival they had here and I had a really good time.
