As you pass through one of Ohio’s historic covered bridges, the past and present collide. Ashtabula County, in Ohio’s northeast corner, is considered the covered bridge capital of the state and is home to 19 of these unique structures. It is also home to the shortest and longest covered bridges in the country.
Some look upon these engineering feats and appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the builders. Others are in awe of the simple beauty of the historic structure as part of the landscape: magical and colorful crossings set against the area’s rolling hills and vineyards. Covered bridges offer a one-of-a-kind look at a bygone era.
We will tour 8 or 9 bridges, and then have time to explore the area, which is home to many great wineries and two distilleries. You will also have the option to continue your drive to the remainder of the bridges.
