Geocache Description:


Graham Road Covered Bridge has probley the most interesting history of all the county birdges. Its was built from remnants of a bridge that was washed more then a mile downstream from its original site, during the flood of 1913. It was built over the east branch of the Ashtabula River, in Pierpont township, near the Denmart Township line. Of town lattice construction, it is some 97 feet long.

One unique feature of the bridge is the slight hump in the west end of the roof line, which was installed incorrectly when the bridge was built, In 1973 Country Commissioners had the birdged moved to the south side of the road on properperty given by the Benson Familily. It is now a miniature park site under the care of the Ashtabula County Metropolitan Park Commission. It is number 35-04-13 according to the Ohio Historial Society.
