Townsend, TN: Covered Bridge
Visitors to Townsend are treated to a charming experience when they approach the Sunshine covered bridge. The historic bridge encourages visitors to stop, fish, walk, sit and for many, ride their bicycles across. The Townsend/Sunshine Covered Bridge as its called – with its rustic tin roof and curving arches, is built on a structure that has been around for nearly 100 years. The 120 ft. covered portion was completed in 2019. Once a single-lane river crossing for vehicles, the bridge was on the brink of being demolished – and was closed to the public. However, a few Townsend and Blount community members came to its rescue. Today, it’s a must-stop when visiting Townsend, Tennessee. Anderson Design Group has rendered this peaceful, hand-illustrated scene in a vintage travel poster perfect for decorating any wall.
