Description
Photograph of the Everett Covered Bridge , which crosses Furnace Run . Covered bridges are truss bridges with support coming from a framework of beams . The builders of Everett Covered Bridge used a truss pattern patented by Robert W . Smith of Tipp City , Ohio , in 1867 . The bridge was also unlikely to have been built much after the 1870s . The popularity of covered bridges waned in the 1880s with the appearance of more durable iron bridges like the one seen at Station Road Bridge Trailhead . Everett Covered Bridge was repaired at least twice after major damage , first caused by the 1913 flood and then by a truck in 1970 . Then in 1975 , rushing water from a spring storm lifted the bridge from its sandstone abutments and deposited the wreckage into the stream bed below .
