Coverd Bridge Cows and a Llama eastern Fayette County

Short detour from Connersvile to Rushville crossed a covered bridge  and a few other interesting things
 

 Kennedy family of bridge builders lived, died and are buried in Rush County. Their descendants still live here, and Rush County is proud of the Kennedys and the six remaining covered bridges. The Kennedy family constructed at least 58 covered bridges, only 13 of which are still standing. Rush County at one time had 19 Kennedy bridges, six of which are still standing. The Kennedy bridges are similar in appearance and are especially admired on account of their ornamentation. The basic construction was finely crafted.


The Flatrock River, also known as Flatrock Creek and other variants of the two names,[1] is a 98-mile-long (158 km)[2] tributary of the East Fork of the White River in east-central Indiana in the United States.[3] Via the White, Wabash and Ohio rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 532 square miles (1,380 km2).[4]
The Flatrock River rises near Mooreland in northeastern Henry County, and flows generally southwestwardly through Rush, Decatur, Shelby and Bartholomew counties, past the communities of Lewisville, Rushville and St. Paul. It joins the Driftwood River at Columbus to form the East Fork of the White River.[5]
