Bigelow Covered Bridge
This bridge, also known as the Axe Handle Bridge, was named in honor of Eliphas Bigelow, a nearby resident whose family founded Plain City. In 1990, the bridge underwent an extensive renovation, which included installing massive nail-laminated arches seated into new concrete foundations.
