Campbell's Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in northeastern Greenville County, South Carolina, near the small town of Gowensville,[2][3] and crosses Beaverdam Creek off Pleasant Hill Road.
[5] It is owned by Greenville County, which closed it to motorized traffic in the early 1980s.
[1] The bridge was built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966)[7] and was named for grist mill owner Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920), who built and maintained the nearby mill for many years,[7] portions of which remain.
[8] The land surrounding the bridge was owned by Sylvia Pittman from 1991 until 2008, when she sold 10 acres (40,000 m2) to the Greenville County Recreation District.
[4] It was constructed in the relatively rare four-span, Howe truss design and features vertical iron rods and diagonal pine timbers.
