Barrackville Covered Bridge
Listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, this 148-foot, single lane bridge was originally built in 1853 by Eli and Lemuel Chenoweth, West Virginia's pioneer bridge builders. It is an excellent example of a modified Burr truss and it is in substantially original condition. April 29, 1863, it was saved from destruction during the Jones-Imboden Raid preliminary to the Battle of Fairmont. Confederate General William "Grumble" Jones answered the pleas to save it by the Ice family, nearby mill owners, and Confederate sympathizers.
