Greenfield Village, Michigan, USA

Covered bridges are valuable commodities. Henry Ford wanted one for Greenfield Village in the 1930s. He found the Ackley Bridge in Pennsylvania and moved it to Michigan. It established the idea that covered bridges could be moved to locations, often parks, where they could teach history and be preserved for future generations. [2008]
