Mill Branch Covered Bridge

Mill Branch Covered Bridge

The Mill Branch Covered Bridge is a covered multiple Kingpost through truss at the Barlow Fairgrounds in Barlow, Ohio.


The crossing was originally constructed in 1871 2 over the Mill Branch of the Little Hocking River .3-mile east of OH Route 339 in Belpre Township in Washington County, Ohio. 1 The bridge was moved to the Barlow Fairgrounds in 1980. 3

A five-year process to raise funds towards the restoration of the covered span began in 1995 and in 1999, volunteers replaced and painted the siding, constructed new approaches, and built a new roof. 1 Structural beams were rehabilitated in 2007 by the Righter Company and volunteers.
