Clarkson Covered Bridge

The Clarkson Covered Bridge in Vinemont, AL, spans Crooked Creek in Cullman County, AL. It was originally built in 1904, destroyed by a flood in 1901 and rebuilt the following year. The only remaining covered bridge in Cullman County, it was restored by the Cullman County Commission in 1975 as an American Revolution Bicentennial Project. The 250-foot bridge is a Town's Lattice truss construction over four spans. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on 6/25/74 and is currently the second-longest existing covered bridge in AL and one of the longest in the United States.
