From the historic covered bridges, wineries, breweries and small batch bakeries and coffee shops scattered throughout the scenic countryside to the colorful murals, Art Deco theatre, trails and specialty shops, every one-of-a-kind experience, artisanal product, and memory in Union County is authentically and thoughtfully crafted in care from the hearts, minds and hands of the people who live and work here.
So just sit back, relax, and let a seasoned guide navigate the pastoral countryside on a tour of the seven covered bridges of Union County, Ohio. Four of the bridges are historic, having been constructed in the 1800s, and were built by local resident Reuben Partridge, a prolific builder who built well over 100 bridges in Ohio. Immerse yourself in the storytelling about the engineering and architecture of these revered structures. This scenic tour includes expansive views of the Big Darby Plains Scenic Byway which boasts a small, but excellent remnant of the prairie ecosystem that was once nearly a thousand square miles prior to European settlement in the early 1800s.
As your covered bridge tour comes to an end, there is no greater sight after rounding that last bend in the road, than the Pottersburg Covered Bridge. Participate in a truly unique experience of dining on a covered bridge, complete with delicious locally sourced cuisine, folk music, storytelling, lively conversation, and a setting sure to celebrate a slower era. Dining on the picturesque Pottersburg Covered Bridge, built in 1873, is always a delight for the senses.
