Kentucky is well recognized for bourbon, bluegrass, and the
Kentucky Derby. When thinking of covered bridges, the commonwealth
is not the state that readily comes to mind. Many of Kentucky's
covered bridges were built by such men as Wernwag, Bower,
Carothers, Day, Stone, and Long, but many of the names were never
recorded or have been lost to time. Kentucky once was home to the
longest single-span wooden bridge in the world and to a covered
bridge through which a Civil War battle was fought. Time, arson,
progress, neglect, and misguided maintenance have spelled the
demise of the majority of these structures. Readers of this volume
might be surprised to learn that Kentucky once claimed more than
700 timbered tunnels and that over 50 of these survived well into
the 1950s. Equally surprising, the commonwealth is still home to 13
of these structures.
