Henry Ford created Dearborn's outdoor Museum in 1929 when he began collecting the homes and workplaces of innovative Americans from all across the country and restoring them in a park-like setting, known as Greenfield Village.
" Straddling Enlow Fork on the line between Washington and Greene counties in south-western Pennsylvania stood a little 75' covered bridge. Built in 1832 by Joshua Ackley & Daniel Clouse the bridge had fallen into disrepair and was scheduled to be razed after 105 years of service.
Mrs. Harleigh J. Carroll, Ackley's granddaughter, acquired the bridge and in turn gave it to Henry Ford in 1937." Text Source: (
