The Emerson Parks Covered Bridge is the only one of Tennessee's four historic covered bridges located in the western portion of the state. The original bridge was built in 1904 on the original Park farm about a mile to the northwest of Trimble, and spanned the Obion River Drainage Canal. It was located in south central Obion County, approximately 20 miles from Union City. Originally, it was located between U.S. 51 and State Route 211 just north of the Dyer-Gibson County line. Until 1997 it was located on private property and wasn’t open to the public. In 1997 when erosion at the original site endangered the historic bridge the community salvaged as much material as possible and rebuilt the bridge in Parks Plaza in nearby Trimble. The Emerson Parks Covered Bridge was placed on the National Historic Register in 1978.
