Beeson Covered Bridge
Beeson Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Rockville, United States
The Beeson Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge with concrete foundations that crosses Williams Creek using a Burr arch truss design. It stands about 12.5 feet (3.8 meters) tall and spans roughly 55 feet (17 meters) over the water.
The bridge was built in 1906 by the Frankfort Construction Company at a different location along County Road 216. It was moved to Billie Creek Village in 1979, where it now stands.
The bridge takes its name from the Beeson family, who owned land nearby rather than from the waterway it crosses, which shows how local families shaped the region's identity. This naming choice reflects how personal histories became embedded in the landscape.
The bridge sits in Billie Creek Village along US 36 and opens only to foot traffic. You can walk across freely at any time, and the narrow interior space makes it feel more like passing through a corridor than crossing open water.
The bridge survived two arson attacks in August 1979 shortly before its relocation to the current site. These two separate fire attempts occurred during the critical moment when the bridge was being saved and moved to safety.
