Blairsville's Bairdstown Bridge has been in the news lately due to flooding. At the current bridge location this large covered bridge once stood. This was a toll bridge that featured a unique Wernwag Truss. The photo is from the collection of the late Bill Graff, Sr. who maintained an avid interest in Indiana County's history throughout his lifetime.
