Sumter County's Covered Bridge

In 1860, Captain W. A. C. Jones of Livingston designed and built a covered bridge of hand-hewn yellow pine, put together with large pegs, with a clear span of 88 feet, an overhead clearance of 14 feet, and an inside width of 17 feet, across the Sucarnoochee River on old State Road south of Livingston. In 1924, the bridge was taken down and reconstructed across Alamucha Creek on old Bellamy-Livingston Road, where it remained in use until 1958. In 1971, it was removed to the Livingston University campus and restored.
