Terrific photos. I thought that I would mention that the Easkin Mill / Arbaugh Covered Bridge should be the Eakin Mill/Arbaugh Covered Bridge. I am related to the Eakin family for whom the bridge is named. Thanks for a great page.
Robin 12-Oct-2009 20:27
There is a covered bridge south of Delta, Fulton County, Ohio. Fraker Mill Bridge, built around 2001 over Bad Creek and is now part of the Wabash Rails to Trails. Beautiful bridge and area to check out.
Darin Stanson 04-Jan-2009 03:00
The Gregg Mill Bridge 1875 was damaged this past October 08. The entire upper support system of this bridge was completely destroyed. Pioneer Builders of Licking County is restoring the bridge with all mortise and tenion oak collar ties back to the way it used to be. It is scheduled to be complete and open to traffic by the end of January 09.
Sherman Glover 28-Sep-2008 01:01
The wife and I were at the Helmick Mill Bridge on Friday September 26,2008 and took some photos of the completed restoration. It is most beautiful this time of year. The design seems to us fantastic. Laminated arches to support the bridge with laminated side rails and renewed landscaping. Just hope vandals do not destroy this beautiful and historic landmark.
Becky and Clint 12-Aug-2008 17:32
Your photos are lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your dedication and hard work with all of us! I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the Helmick Mill Bridge in Morgan County is open yet. I saw it several years ago and would like to take my boys out there to see it. It was closed in the spring when we drove out that way.
David Shields 27-Feb-2008 23:23
You have a beautiful collection of photographs. Just thought you would like to know that the historic rehabilitation of the covered bridge in Newton Falls will be complete this spring. All that is left to do is to paint the fence and replant the grass.

Rehabilitation of the Helmick Mill Covered Bridge is set to commence this summer.

Also, two new authentic timber covered bridges were dedicated and a rehabbed covered bridge was re-dedicated in Union County last spring. The new ones are rather large, but capable of carrying all modern traffic loads.

Grant money has been/will be requested for the Adams-San Toy Covered Bridge in Morgan County and Charlton Mill bridge in Greene County this year and design work on two more new covered bridges in Ohio is to resume this year.

The engineering firm I work for has had some level of involvement in all of the above as well as McCleery, Shaeffer/Campbell, South Salem/Buckskin (not shown), and another new one in the Geauga Park District.

Exceptional collection of photos! Covered bridges are wonderful to seek out, and it seems you did a whole lot of seeking!
I like how you displayed them alphabetically.
The images themselves are beautiful and I personally thank you for your talent in presenting them all.
Marcia Colelli18-Nov-2007 11:57
great collection. You have done a very nice job. I have only been able to find a few so far that were in good repair or close to me. You must travel the whole state. V
Guest 20-Aug-2007 08:47
I have been photographing covered bridges as well as other historic structures and nature for several years now. Your photographs are the best I have seen. Seeing the covered bridges through your eyes make them even more beautiful. Keep up the good work and I'll keep striving to reach the perfection you already have.
kim 19-May-2007 03:29
Beautiful picture's..But where's the Everett Road bridge?
Guest 08-Dec-2006 02:07
Very nice collection. There's something about covered bridges that just screams for photography. I've started a collection of bridges in New England, although I have a long way to go.
Guest 10-Jun-2006 12:33
wonderful gallery, love the bridges. I have a very small gallery of Alabama Covered Bridges
Guest 22-Mar-2006 21:10
I have over 140 bridges or whats left of the bridge in Ohio

Great gallery. I had no idea that there were still this many covered bridges left. Thanks for sharing.
Noemia Costa Dias21-Oct-2005 12:15
A scenery so well known from so many beautiful motion pictures, this collection is magnificent, I must see them carefully one by one, but I think they are all beautiful and very well photographed.

Want to see more covered bridges ? Then visit Quebec and/or their own site : http://www.angelfire.com/pq/sqpc/page01.htm#debut
The one I visited is near Cowansville, crossing the Yamaska River

I was disappointed not to see the Harshaville covered bridge in Adams County. It spans a little creek called Grace's Run. The bridge was there 73 years ago when I was born. I always wondered if I was named after a creek.
Gregory S. Hamilton20-Mar-2005 13:38
Roofs were put on the bridges to keep the main structural timbers dry. They would quickly rot if left exposed to rain and dampness, and then scorched by the sun.
Guest 20-Mar-2005 13:00
Nice photo collection. By the way and out of curiosity, why are the bridges covered and is this a general feature of all the bridges in the area?
Guest 19-Mar-2005 01:45
You have a very nice collection. Here is a link to my site and one covered bridge from Dauphin/Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. I need to go down to Lancaster County, PA and take pictures of some of their covered bridges. http://www.pbase.com/canon1a/image/16664287

Alan Hartmann29-Dec-2004 12:43
Excellent collection, bookmarked! Have a look at my New Hampshire collection: www.pbase.com/abh/nhcoveredbridges
Jim 07-Dec-2004 06:33
The covered bridges pictured here (in late 2004) represent only a small portion of the covered bridges that can be found and photographed in Ohio. You have to click on the bridge picture to find out where it is located.

While most of the pictures are "pretty" I was pleased to see pictures of bridge interiors posted as well. These can be a good reference for seeing how the bridge was constructed. Whether or not it has a truss determines whether the bridge number ends with a number or a letter. The reason bridges were covered was to protect the wood truss from the weather. Thus bridges without trusses were covered mainly to give photographers something else to photograph! :-) Hence the distinction.

I try to maintain a web site listing all trussed covered bridges in Ohio that you can easily visit and photograph. It is located athttp://members.aol.com/jreinhl/. I'll try to add a link to this site along with the links to other sites with Ohio covered bridge pictures.
Cora Malinak29-Nov-2004 12:56
These bridges are wonderful! It takes me back to my time in Vermont, where there were just as many. I had no idea Ohio had so many! You've captured some wonderful colors and scenery, thanks for sharing!
Kirsten 14-Nov-2004 19:49
awesome gallery of covered bridges - never seen so many at one time :) great job thnks for sharing them ...
Guest 20-Oct-2004 11:15
That is an impressive collection of photos.

Fantastic gallery...
Guest 07-Oct-2004 00:05
I have taken the tour of the bridges of Parke County, Indiana as Jeff mentioned. You can get a map that shows where all of them are and there are signs pointing the directions to the bridges. A very nice tour. Early Nov. would be a good time to go. I got interested in them when I worked there a few years back. I took pictures of most of them. I'll try to post them on my gallery.

Nice job on all of them.
Linka 02-Oct-2004 15:08
This is my first comment for pbase..and i think the bridges gallery deserves that..and it reminds me sooo much of Madison's shots in the movie we all know...great work!!!

In what state are these bridges located? Would love to visit them. Great documentation of a disappearing treasure.
Jeff Gegner24-Aug-2004 15:36
AS to the why question. The bridges were covered to protect the structure of the bridge. A regular wooden bridge would last 10-15 years. Covered bridges last much longer.

Parke County Indiana has over 32 covered bridges plus a festival each year for them. They are wonderful structures.


Your photos are very nice. You should come over to Indiana sometime and tour ours.

Great gallery! I see we enjoy a common subject, covered bridges.

Hi,
I am fascinated by your pics of those old bridges. Why were they built in the first place? Probably not only to house swallows' nests?
