Today an the way home from work, I stopped by the Wehr Covered Bridge. In 1862, Ephraim Sieger built
a stone gristmill on the north bank of the Jordan, and the bridge
became known as Sieger’s Covered Bridge. After several owners, the
mill was sold to William Wehr, and the bridge eventually was named
Wehr’s Covered Bridge. The present concrete dam near the bridge
that supplied power for the gristmill was built in 1904 and replaced
the original wooden dam located a short distance upstream. The mill
was torn down in 1951, and today locals refer to the general area
surrounding the bridge as “Wehr’s Dam”. Wehr’s Bridge, which was
built in the Burr arch truss design.
The Images I will be showing today, some are taken without the Infrared filter and others with the filter on.
