About the Knowlton Covered Bridge Park

The Knowlton Covered Bridge was 192 feet long making it the second largest covered bridge in Ohio. The Knowlton Covered Bridge was built in 1887. The Knowlton Covered Bridge was once known as the “Burr Arch Bridge”, the name reflected on the arch architecture inside the covered bridge. In 1995 the Knowlton Covered Bridge Park was listed on National Register of Historic Places, and renovated.

Covered bridges were also known as “Kissing Bridges”, because they have a history of courtship. Some people called and considered them “Wishing Bridges”.
