The Phillips Covered Bridge in Rockville, IN, is a historic single span King Post bridge structure that crosses Rocky Run in Parke County. Built in 1909 by Joseph A. Britton, it holds the distinction of being the shortest covered bridge in the county and is the only one not of Burr Arch construction.
Surrounded by the remnants of Little Arabia, the bridge's area was once home to Syrian Muslim immigrants and a church that has since disappeared. The Phillips Covered Bridge, also known as the Arabia Covered Bridge, remains a significant landmark showcasing the rich history and heritage of the region.
