Locust Creek Covered Bridge State Historic Site
Locust Creek Covered Bridge State Historic Site, Covered bridge near Meadville, Missouri, United States
The Locust Creek Covered Bridge stretches 151 feet in length and features a Howe truss design constructed primarily from white pine materials.
Built in 1868 by Bishop & Eaton for $5,500, this structure served as a crucial transportation link on one of the earliest transcontinental roads in Missouri.
General John J. Pershing regularly crossed this bridge during his youth, as it stood near his childhood home in Linn County.
Located three miles east of Meadville, the bridge site encompasses 32 acres and receives more than 6,000 visitors annually for educational tours.
The structure stands as the longest remaining covered bridge in Missouri and underwent a major renovation in 1991 that elevated it six feet above ground.
