The Covered Spans of Yesteryear website mentions that "It replaced an 1877 iron bridge that was condemned in 1966. The bridge was partially burned on May 11, 1974. Restoration was completed in 1976".
Students of covered bridge history will appreciate the forty pages written by covered bridge builder Milton S. Graton in his book The Last of the Covered Bridge Builders. Mr. Graton takes the reader through the process of building the Middle or Union Street Bridge. (Graton, M. (1978) The Last of the Covered Bridge Builders.
