This 114 foot span, off KY984, was built around 1867. Southeast of Maysville to Fleming County, three lovely old bridges are found amid the patchwork quilt scenes of rolling farmland. 32 southeast of Flemingsburg, is a favorite with Kentucky photographers because it perfectly frames tiny Goddard United Methodist Church. This bridge is still open to traffic and is home to The Covered Bridge Festival held in late August. And last, but certainly not least, is the Johnson Creek Bridge, located off KY 1029 in Robertson County near Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park.
Tours are available.
The roads to freedom rarely took a straight route through Kentucky. Prior to the Civil War, the topic of slavery nearly divided the Commonwealth, and this duality shaped Kentucky's role in the struggle of freedom. Although slavery was legal, many escaped slaves from the Deep South found their freedom on the Underground Railroad stations that crisscrossed the Commonwealth. Many of these stations are located in the Northern Kentucky Region, including Maysville, home to the National Underground Museum, Old Washington, Covington's Behringer-Crawford Museum and Carrollton. The Northern Kentucky region is home to numerous wildlife management areas and nature preserves.
