Through Their Eyes

Covered bridges are works of art that have stood the test of time and are a testament to their builders. These silent witnesses to history house precious memories of yesterday, protecting them as the roof and siding do the bridge's aging timbers. This is a collection of photographs of nine of Fleming County's covered bridges, three of which still stand today. Interspersed with the photos and historical facts are personal recollections of the bridges by Fleming Countians. The Through Their Eyes series celebrates the photographers of yesteryear who captured these structures in images to preserve them for all time.
