Description
Campbell's Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge near the small town of Gowensville and is the last remaining covered bridge in South Carolina. It is 38 feet long and 12 feet wide and was constructed in the relatively rare four-span, Howe truss design, featuring vertical iron rods and diagonal pine timbers. Built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis, it is named for grist mill owner Alexander Lafayette Campbell who built and maintained a nearby corn mill for many years, portions of which remain. It has been restored twice - in 1964 and again in 1990.
It was closed to motorized traffic in the early 1980s and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 1, 2009.
