State officials estimate that Missouri had about thirty covered bridges from the 1820s through the end of the 19th century. On May 25, 1967, the state legislature authorized the Missouri State Park Board to take possession of the remaining bridges in order to repair and preserve them. At the time, five covered bridges remained, but the Mexico covered bridge was destroyed in a flood later that year.[1]
