My 3rd Great Grandparents, George Cook and Priscilla Ewbank-Cook's homestead is up Cook Road and to the best of my knowledge is still in use by the Craig family. Built in 1845, the homestead is situated on 20.70 acres and the river rock used to build the home was from the nearby East Fork of Tanners Creek.
Love the old pictures of the bridge from the past! Sad to see all the neat old bridges from the past going away, the new one's just dont have the character of the old ones. Thanks for documenting these neat old bridges and places with us so they can live on!
Such a shame that this bridge met it's demise. It would be nice to see pieces of the bridge repurposed somewhere like maybe a sculpture or a small foot bridge in someone's back yard.
I love the histories of things and places, but I think your definition of a "ghost road" being owned by a county is a bit limiting, there are scores of former state owned routes and federally designated roads that are now ghost roads with bridges. Route 66 and old abandoned sections of US 25 in Ohio are examples of these state owned federally designated roads that fall seem to me to fall into the ghost road category. There are sure plenty of state roads that meet this criteria. You would think some government entity would remove the remains of this bridge from the stream bed. It couid in heavy flooding conditions threaten current bridges and other structures.
Thanks for all these bridges you posted. Love them. Have you heard of "The High Bridge" in Ky.
Yes I have! I've been there several times. Should I do a video on it?
@@historyinyourownbackyard2363 That would be fantastic! If you have the time. 💜
@@imagineparrish Let me check it out. :)
@@historyinyourownbackyard2363 also a bridge in Delphi Indiana. I plan to visit there someday. Hope you're well today.
