Bakers Camp - 1901
1901 Bakers Camp Covered Bridge is a 147-foot Burr Arch bridge across Big Walnut Creek in northern Putnam County, Indiana. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1989 & 2014.
Three of Putnam County’s nine historic covered bridges, the Pine Bluff, Rolling Stone, and Baker’s Camp covered bridges are within 10 minutes of each other. Pine Bluff is a Howe Truss bridge, 16’ wide and nearly 14’ high, built in 1886. Baker’s Camp, built in 1901, is 128’ long with a 10’ overhang at each end. Rolling Stone’s name came from a boulder in Big Walnut Creek, which it spans. Built in 1915, it’s the shortest at 13’ high. It’s a 103’ long Burr Arch bridge, with a 10’ overhang at each end.
Bakers Camp Covered Bridge is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
