Mull Covered Bridge

Mull Covered Bridge is a wooden structure crossing Wolf Creek, built using a Town Lattice truss design with diagonal bracing elements. The bridge rests on stone abutments and features vertical wooden siding protected by a metal roof.

Built in 1851, the bridge served the Mull family and provided critical access to the local mill. It remained active for vehicle traffic until 1962, after which its use became more restricted.

The bridge reflects a period when covered structures protected wooden frameworks from weather damage. Visitors can observe the traditional craftsmanship in the vertical wooden walls and the practical design choices of that era.

The structure is accessible from ground level and can be photographed from outside. Before visiting, it is helpful to contact the Sandusky County Commissioners Office to confirm current access conditions and any seasonal considerations.

This bridge remains one of the few surviving covered bridges in Northwest Ohio and has undergone significant restoration work. The major repairs completed in the 1990s and 2010s were crucial in preserving the structure for future generations.
