Near the town of Mount Jackson, the Meems Bottom Covered Bridge features a 200-foot single-span wooden Burr arch structure.

Built in 1892 by Franklin Hiser Wissler, the wooden bridge over the North Fork of the Shenandoah River provided access to his apple orchards at Strathmore Farms.

The attack lasted just fifteen minutes with most of the Union cavalry captured but McNeill, one of the best-known Confederate partisan raiders, was mortally wounded.

Another, earlier bridge at a nearby location was destroyed by General Stonewall Jackson's troops in 1862 during the American Civil War.

[4] The name of the bridge derives from the locally prominent Meem family, which held large tracts of land in the area.

[5] The timbers that were used to build the bridge of 1894 were cut from Confederate General Gilbert S. Meem's former farm, Strathmoor, located nearby.

[7] Two stone abutments, which extend ten feet below the riverbed, support the bridge on the sides of the river.

[5] Meems Bottom Covered Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1975.
