Each article features one unique Ohio covered bridge.I have personally photographed, hunted, recorded and researched all known 150 existing, (or recently defunct) covered bridges in Ohio. I have found covered bridges in almost each of the state's counties. I now own The Definitive Collection of Covered Bridges in Ohio. I plan to publish a book soon. To see more photography about covered bridges and other topics, visit my website

Skull Fork Covered Bridge 35-31-01

Skull Fork Covered Bridge 35-31-01
The Skull Fork covered Bridge is the last covered bridge in Harrison County, at one time Harrison had 50 covered bridges. Small covered bridges were all that were needed to span the creeks and runs in Harrison County.

Built around 1850 to 1860 Skull Fork is only 45' long. It is similar to a Queenspost Truss in that it does not have the horizontal top member in the center panel and the center panel is empty. The truss in the Skull Fork Covered Bridge is called a Buckingham truss. The bridge has a shake roof, high boarded gray weathered siding and the floor boards are laid crosswise. Skull Fork is a single span and rests on cut stone abutments with some poured concrete assistance
The bridge spans Skull Fork Creek that supplies the water for Piedmont Reservoir wich is three miles east of the bridge site. Skull Fork has been bypassed for preservation and has a park at the bridge site. My photographs were taken in January of 1994 and the weather was very similar to what we currently are experiencing now.

Directions: Freeport Township. From Freeport, south on SR 800, three miles, right on T 123 (Covered Bridge Road), one and one-half miles.
