Barrackville Covered Bridge
Barrackville Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Marion County, US.
The Barrackville Covered Bridge extends 145 feet across Buffalo Creek, featuring a modified arched Burr truss design with wooden siding added in the 1870s.
Local builder Lemuel Chenoweth constructed this bridge in 1853 as part of the Fairmont & Wheeling Turnpike, coinciding with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad arrival.
During the Civil War in 1863, General William Jones crossed this bridge with Confederate forces but chose to preserve it following local residents' requests.
The bridge stands near Pike Street in Barrackville, West Virginia, offering visitors direct access to examine the nineteenth-century construction techniques.
The structure remains in its original condition after 130 years without modern reinforcements, demonstrating the durability of early American engineering methods.
