Bridges of Madison County

These pictures of the Bridges of Madison County were taken on Roseman Bridge Road (Top photo) and Holliwell Bridge Road (Bottom photo) near Winterset, Iowa.  Roseman Bridge spans the Middle River and was built in 1883 by H. Benton Jones.  Holliwell Bridge was built in 1880 by H. Benton Jones and C. K. Foster.  These bridges along with Cedar Bridge (not shown) were the three bridges used in the 1994 movie "Bridges of Madison County" starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.  One gets to these bridges by driving on what I call "white" dirt roads.  They are pretty cool though!
