Cumberland Covered Bridge

Great American Rail-Trail

Architecture

This scenic covered bridge dates back to 1877. Fun fact: In 1913 a flood washed the bridge almost a mile downstream, but it survived in sufficiently good shape for a team of horses, a winch and some rollers to carry the bridge back to its foundation, where it was repaired.
