Saving a covered bridge in Hyde Park faces uncertain future
Hyde Park's Garfield covered bridge, last of its kind in town, is being dismantled after years of decline. J Phillip Rich of Elmore bought the 100 foot Town lattice truss structure in 1965 and is trying to find a buyer to reconstruct it for public use or, failing that, split and repurpose it for private homes.
