In the 1800's Carroll County petitioned for bridges over Wildcat Creek's north fork. Adams Mill and her sister bridge, the New Lancaster bridge, remain today. They are of the Howw Truss style and had white siding and 18 inch cedar shake roofs. A bow arch was added later to the Adams Mill bridge.
Covered bridges gave protection for floors and helped nervous horses focus on the far bank. They were built wide enough for a load of hay to pass through, but not for two-way traffic.
The Adams Mill bridge, located 1/8th mile north of the Mill, closed to vehicular traffic in 1974 and to foot traffic in 1995. It was restored and reopened for 3 ton traffic in October 1999. So the view of the Wildcat Creek could be enjoyed, windows on each side were added.
