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