Our Fascination with Covered Bridges — 6 Comments

  1. HI Jeff – Meg Graton here, wife of Arnold Milton Graton. Arnold built the Jack-o-lantern bridge. He and his Dad had a loose partnership but Arnold was the builder not Milton. They worked together on many bridges but as Milton got older Arnold took over as it should be. arnoldmgraton.com

    • Hi Meg, I finally got around to correcting the article.
      So I turned to the internet and Bridgehunter.com. They say that this private covered bridge was built by Milton Graton who was one of a long line of covered bridge builders. Meg Graton contacted me to correct my info. Meg says it is Arnold Graton, (Milton’s son) who is the builder of this covered bridge. Also in going to Arnold’s website, you can see he has built many things besides covered bridges.

      If you look at the bridgehunter page you referenced, it says it was hand-built by Milton and then down below it says builder is Arnold associates, so you can see how one might get confused…

    • Great craftsmanship.
      I admire and love to visit the Frankemuth, Michigan covered bridge built by Arnold and Milton about 1962.
      A real treasure for us in Michigan.
