Campbell's Covered Bridge
Campbell's Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in northeastern Greenville County, South Carolina, near the small town of Gowensville, and crosses Beaverdam Creek off Pleasant Hill Road. Campbell's Covered Bridge is the last remaining covered bridge in South Carolina. It is owned by Greenville County, which closed it to motorized traffic in the early 1980s. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 1, 2009. History
The bridge was built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966) and was named for grist mill owner Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920), who built and maintained the nearby mill for many years, portions of which remain. The Campbell bridge has been restored twice, first in 1964 by the Crescent Garden Club, and then in 1990. The land surrounding the bridge was owned by Sylvia Pittman from 1991 until 2008, when she sold  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  for creating the park was covered by state and county grants. Structure
The Campbell's bridge is  long and  wide. It was constructed in the relatively rare four-span, Howe truss design and features vertical iron rods and diagonal pine timbers. References
