Kilgore Mill Covered Bridge and Mill Site, Former covered bridge site in Barrow and Walton counties, Georgia, United States

Kilgore Mill Covered Bridge was a single-span Town lattice truss bridge, 117 feet (36 m) long, carrying a road across the Apalachee River 3.5 miles (5.6 km) southwest of Bethlehem, on the Barrow County–Walton County line. The wooden bridge was destroyed by arson on April 23, 1993, and no longer stands; the mill site it served is listed with it on the National Register of Historic Places.

The bridge was built in 1894 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 as part of the Kilgore Mill Covered Bridge and Mill Site. It was destroyed by arson on April 23, 1993, and no longer stands. The site is 3.5 miles southwest of Bethlehem, where the crossing spanned the Apalachee River between Barrow and Walton counties.

The bridge carried the Bethlehem–Briscoe Mill road over the Apalachee River, linking farms in Barrow and Walton counties. Its several names come from local use: Bethlehem Bridge, Apalachee River Bridge and Briscoe Mill Bridge. The 1894 Town lattice truss was built by D.J. Thompson, and the structure was listed on the National Register in 1975.

The site lies 3.5 miles (5.6 km) southwest of Bethlehem, where the crossing spans the Apalachee River on the Barrow County–Walton County line. The 1894 bridge burned in 1993 and no longer stands, so plan to view the riverbank and mill site rather than walk across.

The bridge was known by multiple names including Bethlehem Bridge, Apalachee River Bridge, and Briscoe Mill Bridge, each reflecting different purposes or perspectives in local history. These varied names show how a single place could be understood and referenced differently by different people.
