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.

Wonderful experience! Phyllis, our tour guide, was wonderful and so knowledgeable. I know we could have toured the bridges on our own but knowing the history behind the bridges was nice. You can't get that experience touring on your own. We were a group of 3 friends so the personal touch made the tour the best!

Beth, we apologize for the inconvenience. We are looking into the miscommunication with your tour request. We regret the error. (Our Welcome Center is not open on Saturdays in the winter, so it was not a matter of us closing early.)

Just fun to stand on the bridge where Meryl Streep stood! There's a gift shop with fun items and the woman working there was happy to answer our questions about the bridge and the area. Winterset is very charming.
