The Bigelow Covered Bridge

This bridge, also called the Axe-Handle Bridge, is located over the Little Darby Creek on Axe-Handle Road. It is also locally referred to as the Little Darby Bridge. This bridge was built in 1873 by Reuben L. Partridge. It spans 100 feet. It was renovated in 1990. This bridge was named to honor the Bigelow Family, a pioneer family to this area in the early 1800s. An addition to the original bridge design is a Burr Arch. The bridge received a Ohio Historic Marker in 2010.
