Pugh's Mill Covered Bridge

The wooden Pugh's Mill Covered Bridge stretches 209 feet across Four Mile Creek, featuring an 18-foot-wide roadway and traditional nineteenth-century construction methods.

Built between 1868 and 1869, the bridge provided access to James B. Pugh's saw and grist mill, which operated with a 16-foot overshot water wheel.

The bridge earned its alternative name, Black Bridge, due to the presence of a white covered bridge downstream near the current State Route 73.

Located at 5401 Corso Road in Oxford, Ohio, the bridge remains accessible to visitors through the Oxford Museum Association's preservation efforts.

The bridge structure combines two different truss types, Childs and Long, with iron rods replacing some wooden diagonals for enhanced support.
