A little trivia about the Matthews covered bridge:
Built at New Cumberland in 1877 by William Parks of Marion at a cost of $722. The 1913 floor floated the bridge a half mile downstream. It was returned to its foundations by rollers and horsepower. New Cumberland was the second community in Grant County - founded in 1833.
