     VISIT OUR 8 COVERED BRIDGES!
  Over the years, a total of 29 covered bridges were built in the county. Some
were built for turnpikes, one for the railroad, one by a private enterprise, and
some to replace original ones that were destroyed in a storm in May of 1886.
After the storm, Everett Sherman, a covered bridge builder originally from
Vermont, moved from Delaware County, Ohio, to Eaton. Sherman built covered
bridges of the Childs truss and the kingpost truss type.

Roberts Covered Bridge
 The Roberts Bridge, built in 1829,
is the 2nd oldest of the nation’s six
remaining double-barrel bridges
and the only dual wagon bridge
standing in Ohio. At its original Old
Camden Road location, the bridge
underwent numerous repairs and
revisions. The rerouting of U. S. 127
resulted in Roberts Bridge being in an
isolated location, and it became the target of vandals. On August 5, 1986, the
bridge was heavily damaged by fire. In 1988, The Roberts Bridge Restoration
Committee started raising private funds for the project. A site along South Beech
Street in Eaton was prepared and plans were made for moving the trusses.
In February 1991, the trusses were placed on new footers and work on the
protective covering began, mostly by volunteers working under the guidance of
Architectural Reclamations, Inc. of Franklin, Ohio.

                                  Brubaker Covered Bridge
                                    The 88 foot Brubaker Bridge was built
                                  in 1887 on what is now Brubaker Road.
                                  The Brubaker Bridge is located one
                                  mile northwest of Gratis near the Preble
                                  County Historical Society’s Center. The
                                  bridge was renovated in 2006.

Dixons Branch Covered Bridge
  The Dixon Branch Bridge was built in 1887
to carry Concord Road across Dixon Branch,
six and one half miles southwest of Eaton.
In winter 1963 a windstorm damaged the
bridge, destroying its roof. The Civitan Club
of Lewisburg reconstructed it in Lewisburg
Community Park. On July 4, 1964, Dixon
Branch Bridge was rededicated during village
Independence Day festivities.

                                 Geeting Covered Bridge
                                   The Geeting Bridge, built in 1894, is
                                 the only covered bridge built in Monroe
                                 Township. The 100-foot bridge spans Price’s
                                 Creek in the southeast corner of the township
                                 on Price Road, three miles west of Lewisburg.

Harshman Covered Bridge
  The 109 foot Harshman Bridge was
built in 1894 across Four Mile Creek
on Concord-Fairhaven Road in Dixon
Township.

                                       Christman Covered Bridge
                                         The 100 foot Christman Bridge was
                                       built in 1895. It spans Seven Mile Creek
                                       on the Eaton-New Hope Road near the
                                       northwest corner of Eaton. The bridge
                                       was renovated in 2007.

Warnke Covered Bridge
  The 51 foot Warnke Bridge was built in
1896 to replace an iron bridge. It crosses
Swamp Creek on Swamp Creek Road
northeast of Lewisburg. It was probably the
last covered bridge built by Sherman who
passed away shortly after its completion.

                                Hueston Woods Covered Bridge
                                  In May 2012, the Preble County Engineer’s
                                Office unveiled the county’s newest covered
                                bridge which gives the county the newest
                                covered bridge in the state. With the addition
                                of the Hueston Woods Covered Bridge, there
                                are eight such bridges for enthusiasts to visit in
                                Preble County.

 Preble County Fairgrounds
   The Preble County Agricultural Society was founded in April 1850. The first
fair was held in 1851 and was at the county courthouse while the livestock show
was held on land known then as Bruce’s Commons. The fairgrounds moved
to various locations until 1866, when the Preble County Agricultural Society
purchased 45 acres of the present site at 722 S. Franklin Street (Ohio 122.) Since
1970, there have been many improvements to the fairgrounds. Several new
buildings including the Expo Building, new Secretary’s Office, and the new Bullen
Equestrian Center, have been erected in recent years. Today the Famous Preble
County Fair boasts 4-H activities, harness racing, livestock shows, food vendors,
truck and tractor pulls, entertainment, and much more during fair week, and the
Fairgrounds hosts shows of all sorts throughout the year.

Fort St. Clair
    Fort St. Clair was a regular and militia troops
fort under General James Wilkinson, who built
the supply post and defensive fortification in
March 1792 in preparation for General “Mad
Anthony” Wayne’s campaign against the Indians
of the Northwest Territory, following disastrous
expeditions in 1790 and 1791. Built near a “fine
spring gushing out of the bank,” the 120-foot
square palisade fort had a four-sided bastion at
each corner. Future U.S. president William Henry
Harrison served in the detachment that built the
fort. On November 6, 1792, Miami Chief Little
Turtle and approximately 200 warriors attacked a
force of Kentucky militia under Major John Adair
camped outside the fort. Six Kentuckians and an
unknown number of Indians died in the skirmish.          In 1992, The Ohio Historical Society deeded
