Foxcatcher Farm Covered Bridge
Foxcatcher Farm Covered Bridge, Historic covered bridge in Cecil County, United States
The Foxcatcher Farm Covered Bridge spans 80 feet across Big Elk Creek with a wooden Burr truss design and red painted exterior walls.
Ferdinand Wood constructed this bridge in 1860 for $1,165, serving as a crucial crossing point near the former Strahorn's Mill location.
The structure represents nineteenth-century engineering methods and stands as one of only two remaining covered bridges in Cecil County.
Located within Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, the bridge now serves pedestrians and horseback riders rather than vehicular traffic.
The bridge maintained its structure through multiple floods that destroyed other crossings, leading to its designation as a Civil Engineering Landmark in 1994.
