Little Mary's River Covered Bridge, Illinois, United States

4.5 (9 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #4 in Chester Historic Sites • Bridges

Interesting Piece of Local History

Just outside of Chester sits this old covered bridge. There's a small parking lot and restroom facilities. A plaque describes the history of the bridge. It's been restored very well. Nice spot for photos with the trees and river. When I was there a couple were taking wedding photos. I visited in October and it was a somewhat warm day and a lot of bugs were buzzing around inside the bridge. Nice quick place to stop and admire if you're in the area.

    Nice Little Bridge
    Exactly what I was expecting. This is a nice covered bridge sat just off the highway as you drive by. Not really anything to do here besides view the bridge though.

    worth the stop
    this is a great stop for a little history of covered bridges. It is in very good shape and has an blurb about the history. Be on the lookout though we saw a snakeskin hanging from a tree. Stay on the path
