Barkhurst Mill Covered Bridge

Barkhurst Mill Covered Bridge

The Barkhurst Mill Covered Bridge is a covered multiple Kingpost through truss over Wolf Creek in Morgan County, Ohio.


The Barkhurst Mill Covered Bridge was constructed in 1872 adjacent to the now-demolished Barkhurst Mill. It was later strengthened with the addition of temporary steel bents but later closed to automobile traffic due to the deterioration of truss members. 2 It remained open to hikers traveling the Buckeye Trail and the North Country National Scenic Trail.

In 2011, 2 the county received a National Covered Bridge Preservation Program grant for $406,240 towards the restoration of the Barkhurst Mill Covered Bridge. 1 Restoration of the bridge began in September 2013 and was finished in July 2014. 2
