Bennett's Mill Bridge
Marker Number:
1076
Location:
8 mi. S. of South Shore, KY 7
One of Kentucky's longest wooden, one-span, covered bridges, length 195 feet. B. F. Bennett and his brother Pramley built the bridge in 1855 or 1856 to accommodate customers at their mill. It has withstood severe floods through the years. Original footings and frame are intact. The bridge was never painted and has weathered to its present rustic appearance.
