We persevered and finally found it! The town of Sidney, Ohio does not make it easy, a sign stating that the bridge can be found within the Tawawa Park would be very helpful to out-of- towner's. We actually had given up the search and decided to go investigate the park instead which is quite lovely on its own and on our way out I spotted it. It's really a very pretty spot and a nice example of a covered bridge from the late 1800's though I could not find a definite date. It is named for a gentleman who served on the parks and recreation board.
I am confused as to whether or not it is attributed to pioneer bridge designer and builder, Rueben L. Partridge (1823-1900) or if it was constructed to look like one of his bridges.
Regardless it is a very picturesque site and a favorite with families taking pictures and walks.
The park has hiking trails, playgrounds, lakes and the Tawawa Creek. It serves as a natural preserve.
