Description
Elder Mill Covered Bridge 2...by Reid Callaway
Built in 1897 by Nathaniel Richardson, this 99-foot-bridge originally carried the Watkinsville-Athens Road over Calls Creek. It was moved here to Rose Creek in 1924 and the road was relocated to its present site. The nearby c. 1900 grist mill ceased operation in 1941. Constructed in the Town lattice design, the bridge's web of planks crisscrossing at 45-to 60 degree angles are fastened with wooden pegs, or tunnels, at each intersection. It is one of few covered bridges in Georgia continuing to carry traffic without underlying steel beams.
