Goddard
The Goddard White Covered Bridge is the only surviving example of Ithiel
Town Lattice design in Kentucky, with timbers joined by wooden pegs. Actual date
of construction and the orginal builder are unknown, but the bridge can be
traced back to the 1820's. A favorite spot for photographers, the Goddard Bridge

Ringos Mills
The Ringos Mills Covered Bridge was erected around 1867-1869 over Fox
Creek on highway 158. The bridge and surrounding community developed because of
a grist mill operating on Fox Creek in the mid 1880's. The bridge is not open to
automobile traffic but proudly welcomes visitors now as it did over one hundred
years ago.
