List of covered bridges in California facts for kids
Below is a list of covered bridges in California. There are ten authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of California, and eight of them are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.
