Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to see a true covered bridge. I would read my grandma's books on the south and dream of riding a horse drawn carriage over one of the many covered bridges in Tennessee.
Today, we found and visited one of the last remaining covered bridges in the state of Tennessee. While not very attractive, the Doe River Covered Bridge is one of four included in the National Registry of Historical sites. Built in 1882, the bridge cost $3,000 to construct and remains a solid structure today.
Hopefully, I will get to see a few more of these types of bridges in my lifetime, maybe even ride a carriage across one.
Other firsts today:
- Went to Parks Mill in Abingdon, VA.
- Visited Sycamore Shoals, site of the Transylvania Purchase.

There is a cool old covered bridge 2-3 miles from Diane's parents house. Next time we're there you need to come and visit...
