"Having personally photographed,
hunted, recorded and researched all known 150 existing, (or recently
defunct) covered bridges in Ohio, that I have found in almost
each county, 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" |

Baker Covered Bridge
 |
The Baker Covered Bridge #35-23-33 is 90 feet long and originally crossed
a branch of Rush Creek and. It had a shingled roof, a single
span, and rested on cut stone abutments. In 1981 this covered
bridge was moved to Fairfield Union High School Grounds, behind
the academic buildings, beyond the athletic fields. There is
an outdoor education facility there where the Baker spans a small
lake in a very scenic, wooded, beautiful and very well maintained.area. |
| Built in 1871,
the Baker Covered Bridge was constructed with a Queenspost truss,
a floor planking laid lengthwise, a tin roof and white plank
siding. I photographed this bridge in rainy May, but the sky
opened up and mother nature gave me a wonderful afternoon to
take photographs. |

Although
The Baker covered Bridge offers a captivating sight, a long walk
is required from the school parking lot to reach the bridge. |
| Directions: From Lancaster, northeast on SR 22,
approximately 8 miles. Fairfield Union High School is located
on the right. |
