Visite guidée personnelle des ponts couverts du comté de Madison

Aperçu
Travel the back roads through the heart of Madison County under the wing of one of our guide experts, who are all residents of Madison County. Madison County's world-famous covered bridges were the inspiration behind, and the setting of the novel by Robert James Waller and the 1995 film "The Bridges of Madison County", starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. 

Six of the original nineteen covered bridges remain, making Madison County the Covered Bridge Capital of Iowa. Five of the bridges are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Each two-hour personal guided tour includes information about the construction and history of the bridges, the movie production, and a variety of other local historical information. You will visit three of the county's most popular covered bridges and have a chance to walk through them and take plenty of photographs.

We are sorry that we were not able to conduct this tour. The guide who was scheduled came down sick and we tried at the last minute to find someone who could do the tour but were not able to. We are glad you were still able to come down and see the bridges, and found the information at our welcome center helpful.

After passing by a few times on our way to Kansas City, made the time to do veer off the I35 and overnight in Winterset. We are fans of local tours be they walking, or in this case, driving. Diane was wonderful - knowledgeable, engaging and proud of her community. We could have seen the same sights, but not with the same eyes of being with someone who can provide "value added" insight. Next time we decide to "veer' we may need to take in the wineries in the area. But maybe let someone else do the driving on the tour.

We loved our tour with Bob as our guide. He gave us so much information on the history of the city of Winterset and the bridges. We would have gotten lost getting to the Roseman Bridge if we hadn't of had Bob with us. Bob also gave us some detailed tidbits about the filming of the movie "Bridges of Madison County" that were so interesting. I highly recommend doing this personal tour!
