I recently wrote about the remaining covered bridges in Wisconsin but I missed one that has a story to tell.

Ted Behncke of Fennimore contacted me after reading my story in the Jefferson Daily Union. Behncke — who is president of St. Coletta of Wisconsin — lives on a farm near Fennimore and built his own covered bridge.
