The Harshman Covered Bridge carries Concord-Fairhaven Road over Four Mile Creek in Preble County, Ohio.
The covered Childs through truss was constructed in 1894 by Everett S. Sherman at the cost of $3,184. 1 The masonry work completed by J.M. Acton, with the stone abutments sourced from the Stony Point quarry. A sawmill along the creek near the bridge provided cut lumber.
Between December 2007 and May 2008, the Harshman Covered Bridge was rehabilitated with new wood siding and a standing seam metal roof, and a rebuilt flooring system. 1 In addition, deficient upper and lower chords were replaced or added. Financing for the project derived with 95% federal funding.
