| Welcome to the Bridgeton 1878 House |
Located in the heart of downtown Bridgeton, Indiana
the 1878 House was originally the millers home, just a few yards
away from the Bridgeton covered bridge and the millers mill. Now
this historic home is a monument to the early pioneers of this
Midwestern community. Enjoy the quaint Victorian architecture of
the house. The house is a gift shop run by Blanche Case for over 25
years, and is ready to provide its customers with unique gifts,
antiques and handcrafted merchandise.

The grounds of the 1878 House also offer the charm of the Case
1822 Log Cabin. This cabin is the original homestead cabin of the Seba
Case family who settled here in Parke County in the early 1820's.
This log cabin is a true testament to the early pioneer spirit of our
ancestors. The Case Cabin is one of, if not, the oldest log homes in
the county today. Stop by and maybe catch Blanche cooking on an
open hearth, or just take a look at the items she has to offer for sale
in her shop.

covered bridge. The original bridge was destroyed by arson in 2005
and was rebuilt by the generosity of the community and lovers of this
bridge from all over the country. Thanks to all who helped make the
new bridge possible, so come on down and visit us in Bridgeton.
