The Bridges of Ashtabula County

Ashtabula County, Ohio, has more covered bridges than anywhere else in Ohio. Now they want federal taxpayers to help them with another record -- the longest covered bridge in the US.

The federal government has already offered $5 million toward the county's 600-foot bridge. Local leaders want it as a way to attract tourists to their annual covered bridge festival. (Boston Globe)
