The Oquawka Wagon Bridge is a covered bridge located 2.5miles south of Oquawka in Henderson County, Illinois. The wooden bridge was built in 1866, replacing an earlier bridge called the Eames Bridge; the bridge structure cost $2,125, while its stone abutments cost $2.40 per perch. The bridge carried a road over Henderson Creek until 1935, when the state government moved the roadway; in the following year, the bridge became a pedestrian bridge, and the state opened a picnic area in its vicinity.[1] The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
