Ernie Pyle Rest Park

Written By Courtney Cook

WORTH NOTING! Ernie Pyle Rest Park is a tribute to the WWII Journalist who, through his ability to tell the story of the G.I., earned respect of soldiers and families. The marker that is placed in his memory is an exact replica of the marker that marks the spot on the island of Ie Shima where Pyle was killed by a sniper’s bullet. The Covered Bridge, originally built in 1878, was relocated to the park in an effort to preserve the historical structure. The park and covered bridge often finds photographers capturing special moments for people including weddings, engagement pictures, senior and family photo sessions. Ernie Pyle Rest Park is located along US 36 just east of Dana, IN where one can visit the Ernie Pyle Museum.
