thank you for having some wonderful pictures. I am a weddle and we grow up on the bridge playing in it. We were always told not to go near the bridge, but everyone did. They redid it in 2005 and it is not the same, I wish they would have kept alot of the old feeling of the bridge.

How did the bridge get its name? I am researching a book to be about Sen. Joseph B. Foraker and the Brownsville Incident and would like to know if it was named after him. Thank you.

Mr. Hamilton
If you get an oppertunity, please return and shoot this bridge again. My company, The W.M. Brode Company, just completed restoring this bridge(11/2005). Interesting enough the company was founded the same year Foraker was built, 1887. I appreciate your photos of the other covered bridges. One of my first projects for the company was the restoration of the Helmick covered bridge. I just wish we could have stained the siding. Thanks again for your photographs.
