Protecting Long Grove’s Iconic Covered Bridge from Truck crashes

The Long Grove Village Board votes to accept a bid to rebuild the Bridge’s foundation and refurbish the iron infrastructure.

Only days after being placed on the nation’s National Historic Register, Long Grove’s iconic bridge was severely damaged by an over-size, over-weight truck.

Long Grove’s Buffalo Creek Bridge, more commonly known as the Long Grove Covered Bridge, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service of the United Stated of America.

An update regarding the National Register Listing of Long Grove’s historic bridge is expected the second quarter of 2018.

News on the bridge expected shortly – get your raffle tickets before it’s too late.

The State voted unanimously to submit our bridge to the National Historic Register, officially becoming the most historic thing in all of Long Grove. Let your Village Trustees know you want to save this bridge!

Why preserve a historic bridge? Preservation is not a luxury that is considered once all other needs have been satisfied.
