Historic Roseman Covered Bridge — Attraction in Winterset

Even before I saw the movie I've always loved covered bridges something about them brings to mind a simpler way of life. Somehow to me even romantic.

For a small shop they have quite a selection. Of course t-shirts, honey, wine, coffee, signs & even John Wayne toilet paper. There must be someone you know who would love a roll of John Wayne...

Three wineries in the area offer some really good white and reds. Start with a map from the visitors center and create some great memories of Madison County. Special events are held most every month.
