Covered Bridge & Other Places

This 1932 photograph is the "semi-official"  image of Zumbrota's Covered Bridge.  

The photo originally included a woman at the left front, just out of sight on this print, who was walking to town from her home north of the bridge. Also, the original photograph did not include the sign announcing a $10 fine for driving faster than a walk, which had been taken off temporarily for bridge repairs; however, the photo was retouched and the sign restored.  The team of horses shown, Queen and Prince, is pulling a Monson dray sled, driven by Orville Rockvam, a long-time Monson Dray Line employee.  The local bank used this retouched image on its Christmas greeting card to the public at least in 1932 and 1933 and perhaps later.
