VISIT OUR 8 COVERED BRIDGES!
Over the years, a total of 29 covered bridges were built in the county. Some
were built for turnpikes, one for the railroad, one by a private enterprise,
and some to replace original ones that were destroyed in a storm in May of
1886. After the storm, Everett Sherman, a covered bridge builder originally
from Vermont, moved from Delaware County, Ohio, to Eaton. Sherman built
covered bridges of the Childs truss and the kingpost truss type.
Roberts Covered Bridge
The Roberts Bridge, built in 1829,
is the 2nd oldest of the nation’s six
remaining double-barrel bridges
and the only dual wagon bridge
standing in Ohio. At its original Old
Camden Road location, the bridge
underwent numerous repairs and
revisions. The rerouting of U. S. 127
resulted in Roberts Bridge being
in an isolated location, and it became the target of vandals. On August 5,
1986, the bridge was heavily damaged by fire. In 1988, The Roberts Bridge
Restoration Committee started raising private funds for the project. A site
along South Beech Street in Eaton was prepared and plans were made for
moving the trusses. In February 1991, the trusses were placed on new footers
and work on the protective covering began, mostly by volunteers working
under the guidance of Architectural Reclamations, Inc. of Franklin, Ohio.
Brubaker Covered Bridge
The 88 foot Brubaker Bridge was built
in 1887 on what is now Brubaker Road.
The Brubaker Bridge is located one
mile northwest of Gratis near the Preble
County Historical Society’s Center. The
bridge was renovated in 2006.
Dixons Branch Covered Bridge
The Dixon Branch Bridge was built in
1887 to carry Concord Road across Dixon
Branch, six and one half miles southwest
of Eaton. In winter 1963 a windstorm
damaged the bridge, destroying its
roof. The Civitan Club of Lewisburg
reconstructed it in Lewisburg Community
Park. On July 4, 1964, Dixon Branch
Bridge was rededicated during village Independence Day festivities.

Geeting Covered Bridge
The Geeting Bridge, built in 1894, is
the only covered bridge built in Monroe
Township. The 100-foot bridge spans
Price’s Creek in the southeast corner of
the township on Price Road, three miles
west of Lewisburg.
Harshman Covered Bridge
The 109 foot Harshman Bridge was
built in 1894 across Four Mile Creek
on Concord-Fairhaven Road in Dixon
Township.
Christman Covered Bridge
The 100 foot Christman Bridge
was built in 1895. It spans Seven Mile
Creek on the Eaton-New Hope Road
near the northwest corner of Eaton.
The bridge was renovated in 2007.
Warnke Covered Bridge
The 51 foot Warnke Bridge was built
in 1896 to replace an iron bridge. It
crosses Swamp Creek on Swamp Creek
Road northeast of Lewisburg. It was
probably the last covered bridge built by
Sherman who passed away shortly after
its completion.
Hueston Woods Covered Bridge
In May 2012, the Preble County Engineer’s
Office unveiled the county’s newest covered
bridge which gives the county the newest
covered bridge in the state. With the
addition of the Hueston Woods Covered
Bridge, there are eight such bridges for
enthusiasts to visit in Preble County.

Preble County Fairgrounds
The Preble County Agricultural
Society was founded in April 1850.
The first fair held in 1851, was at the
county courthouse and the livestock
show was on Bruce’s Commons. The
fairgrounds moved to various locations
until in 1866 when the Preble County
Agricultural Society purchased 45 acres
of the present site at 722 S. Franklin
Street (State Route 122.) Since 1970,
there have been many improvements
to the grounds. Several new buildings,
including Bruner Arena and the Expo
Building, have been erected in recent
722 South Franklin St., years. Today the fair boasts 4-H activities,

Fort St. Clair
Fort St. Clair was a regular and militia troops
fort under General James Wilkinson, who built
the supply post and defensive fortification in
March 1792 in preparation for General “Mad
Anthony” Wayne’s campaign against the Indians
of the Northwest Territory, following disastrous
expeditions in 1790 and 1791. Built near a “fine
spring gushing out of the bank,” the 120-foot
square palisade fort had a four-sided bastion
at each corner. Future U.S. president William
Henry Harrison served in the detachment that
built the fort. On November 6, 1792, Miami
Chief Little Turtle and approximately 200 war-
riors attacked a force of Kentucky militia under
Major John Adair camped outside the fort. Six
Kentuckians and an unknown number of Indians
died in the skirmish. The fallen soldiers were In 1992, The Ohio Historical Society
