Once upon a time, there were beautiful bridges that served as gathering spots of rural communities. Covered bridges — also called kissing bridges — were found all over Kentucky, spanning the state’s myriad rivers and creeks. Today, these once-ubiquitous structures are a rarity, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Kentucky, a state that celebrates the past, has several stately kissing bridges still in existence, and they continue to offer a place for meeting, and maybe even a little smooching, too. This day trip visits five kissing bridges in Kentucky, and we guarantee you’ll fall in love with these charming places.
How many of these covered bridges in Kentucky have you visited? Did you know these structures were also called kissing bridges — and that Kentucky was home to so many? How enchanting!
