Snow Hill Covered Bridge

Built in 1894-1895 over Johnson's Fork Creek by John H. Horn and William H. Butts to a Howe truss design by John Burkhart, the Snow Hill Covered Bridge was constructed by local residents and served as an important passageway to Cincinnati markets. It rests on stone abutments with wingwalls, includes X-braced framing, and is braced with iron bolts and vertical iron rods. The bridge honors landowner Lemuel Snow, a Revolutionary War veteran. Deemed unsafe in 1986, it was closed to traffic, and a community-supported restoration project followed. The roof, wood flooring, and other elements were replaced in 1987, and the bridge reopened that year. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, and a restoration and construction project began in 2000.
