Verse by Rob Hoskinson; Illustrated by Mary Courtney “…the best of the books… (on Madison County and its covered bridges)…” —The Madisonian

Preserved for future generations with a unique wooden covering, the bridges of Madison County were a treasure hidden for more than a century in the heartland of America.

Well-known artist Mary Courtney has accurately rendered each of the existing bridges in pen and ink. Resident poet Robert Hoskinsons poems tell of the bridges and their lore. The Madison County Historical Society, has graciously allowed the use of exquisite antique quilts from the Museums collection. Nationally recognized quilters Marianne Fons and Liz Porter, with a group of fabric artisans named the Madison County Quilt Company, contributed the folk-art quilt Sampler. 

• 16 poems of lore and history in tribute to the bridges
• 33 full-color photos celebrating Madison County
