Notes
  • Significance: Cataract Falls Bridge is the only surviving covered bridge in Owen County, Indiana. It is also one of only six Smith trusses in Indiana. This popular late nineteenth century bridge was patented by Robert W. Smith and built by his company or under license to him. Smith's innovations represented by the Cataract Falls Bridge, were among the last in wooden bridge design even as the country was making the shift to all-metal bridges.
  • Survey number: HAER IN-104
  • Building/structure dates: 1876 Initial Construction
