Cullman, AL Clarkson Covered Bridge T-Shirt by Hometown Heritage

Clarkson Covered Bridge in Cullman, Alabama

Weary travelers and exuberant farmers used to cross the Clarkson Covered Bridge when it was built in 1904. Spanning Crooked Creek, the bridge cast roughly $1,500 and was built by James Legg, a local mail carrier who believed the area needed better quality transportation. In 1921, half of the bridge was destroyed by a flood, with most of the pieces making their way downstream. For an addition $1,500, a local contractor reconstructed the bridge in 1922, and it remained in service to locals and travelers alike well into 1962. After falling into disarray due to not being used, the bridge was restored in 1975 and the area was turned into park and added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is the second-longest existing covered bridge in Alabama. After a flood in 2015, most of the pathways in the park were destroyed; however, the bridge remained undamaged. The park reopened in January of 2016 and can be visited (along with the bridge) today.
