Eaton, Ohio

Built in 1894, the Harshman Covered Bridge stands as one of Preble County’s treasured historic landmarks. This well-preserved wooden structure continues to serve its original purpose, remaining open to traffic more than 130 years after construction.

The bridge spans Seven Mile Creek, showcasing the craftsmanship of late 19th-century Ohio bridge builders. Its weathered red siding and classic gabled roof make it a favorite among covered bridge enthusiasts.

Visiting Tips: The bridge is accessible year-round via local roads. For photography, early morning or late afternoon light creates the best shadows on the wooden siding. Autumn visits offer stunning foliage backdrops. Park safely off the roadway, as the bridge remains an active thoroughfare.
