Campbell’s Covered Bridge History

campbellscoveredbridge2Constructed in 1909 Campbell’s Covered Bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in the State of South Carolina. The 38 foot long, 12 foot wide pine structure that spans Beaverdam Creek was built by Charles Irwin Willis. Locals believe that the bridge was named for Lafayette Campbell, who at the time of the bridge’s construction owned 194 acres in the immediate area.

The bridge and surrounding acreage is presently owned by the Greenville County Recreation District and will soon be transformed into a passive park where visitors can picnic, explore the foundations of other historic points of interest on the property, wet their feet on a hot summer day in Beaverdam Creek, and learn about the area through historical signage.
