Olin's Covered Bridge

The wooden Olin's Covered Bridge spans 115 feet across the Ashtabula River, featuring a single-span Town truss design and red painted exterior walls.

Constructed in 1873, the bridge received its name from the Olin family who purchased the adjacent land in 1860 after migrating from New York in 1832.

The bridge stands as one of 16 drivable covered bridges in Ashtabula County, representing the engineering methods and transportation needs of the 19th century.

Located 3.6 miles east of Ashtabula, the bridge maintains a 12-foot clearance and underwent substantial renovation work in 1985 to ensure its continued use.

The structure remains the only bridge in Ashtabula County named after a family, who operate a small museum and gift shop in their historic home nearby.
