Sevierville, Tennessee

Here, Near, and Far:  The covered bridge is not here.  It is nearby, though:  400 yards south.  And, if you are intrigued enough by the text, you might follow the trail downhill to see a bit of history.  Actually, there is precious little information about the the bridge's history on this marker; mostly glorifies the DAR.  [2009]

Bayview, Maryland

Commemorating Covered Bridges:  Where you find falls on a river, you are likely to find mills.  Where you find mills, you are likely to find covered bridges.  A bridge built next to a mill enabled the miller to expand his trade area by providing access from the opposite shore.  [2008]

Mount Jackson, Virginia

Commemorating Covered Bridges:  There are only eight covered bridges left in Virginia.  Meems Bottom is probably the most famous, simply because of its accessibility.  Can you see the covered bridge across the field?  [2011]

Landrum, South Carolina

Commemorating Covered Bridges:  Here is the last covered bridge in South Carolina.  Sorry, the last extant covered bridge in South Carolina.  Every word should count on a historical marker.  Does 'extant' add even a shade of meaning to the text?  Does anyone ever use the word 'extant'?  [2006]

Miami, Ohio

Commemorating Covered Bridges:  Perhaps every covered bridge should have its own historical marker.  Only a few do.  This marker appears on the landscape because of a four-way public-private endeavor to assure that it is valued as a historical resource.  Can you find the four-way names?  [2010]
