The spectacular bridge known as Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge in Gay, Georgia is a truly historic spot most residents don’t even know exists.
What is most fascinating about this bridge, and what makes it so rare, is that its design and construction was so precise—so perfectly solid, that is still remains usable to this day.
Constructed by famed bridge builder Horace King, the Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge used wooden pegs to fasten the beams together rather than iron, which was in short supply back in the Old South in the mid-1800s.
