Save Harmar Bridge

Initially built as a covered bridge in 1856, the Harmar Bridge was converted to a railroad bridge in the 1860s, making it one of the first iron bridges during the Civil War, the oldest swinging railroad bridge in the country, and the only one of its kind still in operation today. The bridge spans the Muskingum River, connecting Harmar and Marietta, and is owned by the Historic Harmar Bridge Company. A campaign seeks to fully fund the restoration of the B&O Railroad Bridge through a partnership between the Historic Harmar Bridge Company and Marietta Main Street, with donations directed to the Save Harmar Bridge Fund at the Marietta Community Foundations.
