Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox bridge Foxcatcher Farm Covered Bridge, also known as Big Elk Creek Covered Bridge and Fair Hill Covered Bridge, is a Burr truss wooden covered bridge near Fair Hill, Maryland, United States.

History

The bridge crosses Big Elk Creek and is surrounded by the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, the former land holdings of William du Pont Jr. The crossing was originally called Strahorn's Mill Bridge[1] after Strahorn's Mill - one of the properties purchased by William du Pont Jr. in 1927 to create his Foxcatcher Farm estate, which was named after his thoroughbred racing stable.[1]
