Antelope Creek Bridge

Science & Tech
Antelope Creek Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge now serving pedestrians in Eagle Point, Oregon, where it spans Little Butte Creek in Covered Bridge Park. Built in 1922 by brothers Wes and Lyle Hartman, it originally carried the old Medford–Crater Lake Road over Antelope Creek north of Medford. After replacement by a newer bridge, it fell into disuse and deteriorated. The span retains notable features such as a modified queenpost truss, ribbon openings, cantilevered buttresses, a cedar roof, semicircular portals, and board siding without battens. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, it was dismantled, moved, and reassembled by volunteers in 1987, then restored to the register in 2012 after nonoriginal alterations were corrected.
