PLACES OF INTEREST

Tunbridge Village: The entire village, from Schoolhouse No. 1, a small brick building on a side road but visible from Route 110, to Schoolhouse No. 18, a small brick building just after the concrete bridge, a distance of 1.2 miles, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Covered Bridges: Tunbridge has five public covered bridges that can be seen by driving on Route 110 — Howe, Cilley, Mill, Larkin and Flint. The Flint Bridge is the oldest, built in 1874.
The Mill Complex: Opposite the Tunbridge Village Store, itself a historic building, this small group of buildings, constructed in about 1820 on the bank of the First Branch of the White River, was once a commercial center with a gristmill, sawmill, blacksmith shop and feed store.
Tunbridge World’s Fair: Held the second weekend after Labor Day, it’s “The Fair” to residents of Tunbridge and surrounding towns. The four-day event is one of the oldest agricultural fairs in the United States. The Fairgrounds: Many other events take place here during the summer months — horse shows, auctions, ox pulls, campers’ gatherings and more.
