Introduction

This is the fifth book in the Lost in Michigan series. I have been exploring the Upper and Lower Peninsulas my entire life but have been blogging about it for the past seven years. I am surprised with all my my travlels that I have still not seen everything the Great Lakes State has to offer. There are many small towns, parks, and historical places I have yet to visit. I do my best to travel all over Pure Michigan and find the out of the way or forgotten about locations that are not mentioned in most travel brochures.

The locations in this volume start at the bottom of the state and then work north. Each story is independent of one another. You can read them in any order you wish. I have done my best to give an address that you can use in a GPS to help you find each location. Some places do not have an address, so I have given a description of where they can be found. Most locations are on public property, but some may be privately owned. Whether they are public or private, they may not be open to visitors, or they may only be open at scheduled times. Most places can be seen from public roads. I don't trespass and I advise anyone against it. Please be respectful to the places you visit. I hope after reading this book you will take an interest in traveling the back roads of Michigan and see what you can find.

Acknowledgements

Thank you to all the people on the Internet who have taken the time to comment on my posts. I have found a lot of interesting information from people willing to share their knowledge and memories. I also want to thank the people who work or volunteer at the local historical societies. It is these people who maintain historic buildings and structures along with the artifacts and records of Michigan's past. It is through their hard work that future generations will be able to learn about the Great Lakes State's history.

Michigan's Longest Covered Bridge

Location:

Three Rivers, MI 49093

Michigan has about eight covered bridges that can be driven across with a car or pick-up truck. In the mid 1800s wooden covered bridges were a popular form of bridge construction. The roof and side walls help to protect the support structures and roadway decking from the harsh Michigan weather. An uncovered wooden bridge had an operational lifespan of about twenty to thirty years. There are a few covered bridges in the Great Lakes State that have been standing for over a century.

The Langley Covered Bridge is the longest covered bridge in Michigan with three sections spanning a total of 282 feet. At nearly the length of a football field, it crosses the St. Joseph River near Centreville. In 1887, the bridge was constructed from white pine by Pierce Bodmer for Lockport and Nottawa Townships at a cost of $3000. The bridge was named in honor of Thomas W. Langley who was the first settler in Centreville.

In 1910, after the Sturgis Dam was constructed, the bridge was raised eight feet to accommodate for the rising water. In the early 1950s, the supports of the bridge were reinforced with steel and concrete to better support the weight of automobile traffic. After decades of faithful service the old bridge was in need of repair. In 2008 the sides, roofing and road planking was replaced at a cost of one million dollars. I bet when Pierce Bodmer originally built the bridge people complained about the $3000 it cost to build it having no idea the cost would be to maintain it.

The historic bridge is still open and functional today. It is a thrill to drive across this wooden bridge, and feels like going back in time when passing through its pine framing.
