The Beeson Covered Bridge is a Burr Arch covered bridge structure that was built by the Frankfurt Construction Company in 1906. It is 55 feet (17 m) long, 16 feet (4.9 m) wide, and 13 feet (4.0 m) high.
It originally crossed the Big Raccoon Creek, but was later moved to its current location over Williams Creek in Billie Creek Village, Rockville, Indiana. In 1974 it was closed for traffic. It was twice victimized by arson in 1979.
