A Covered Bridge Among Corn Fields



Off of Route 11, four miles north of New Market and about two miles south of Mount Jackson, lies Meem's Bottom Covered Bridge. The bridge was originally built in 1894. According to this article on Virginia's covered bridges, the bridge was burned by vandals on Halloween 1976 so what we see now is a reconstruction.



Nestled among corn fields, the covered bridge (which is still in use) is worth a visit. My kids particularly liked playing in the water below the bridge!
