Campbell's Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in northeastern Greenville County, South Carolina, near the small town of Gowensville,[1][2] and crosses Beaverdam Creek off Pleasant Hill Road.[3]

Campbell's Covered Bridge is the last remaining covered bridge in South Carolina.[4] It is owned by Greenville County, which closed it to motorized traffic in the early 1980s.[5] The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 1, 2009.[6]

History

The bridge was built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966)[7] and was named for grist mill owner Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920), who built and maintained the nearby mill for many years,[7] portions of which remain.[5]

The Campbell bridge has been restored twice, first in 1964 by the Crescent Garden Club,[3] and then in 1990.[8]

The land surrounding the bridge was owned by Sylvia Pittman from 1991 until 2008, when she sold Шаблон:Convert to the Greenville County Recreation District. She said, "I had in mind to have a park preserve this to let everyone enjoy this like we have." The Шаблон:US$ for creating the park was covered by state and county grants.[5] [9]

Structure

The Campbell's bridge is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide.[3] It was constructed in the relatively rare four-span, Howe truss design and features vertical iron rods and diagonal pine timbers.[10]
