Campbell’s Covered Bridge is the sole surviving bridge of this type in the state of South Carolina, USA. The bridge was built in 1909 by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966).⁵ It was named after grist mill owner Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920) who built and maintained the Campbell corn mill in the town for many years.⁵ Parts of the mill still remain preserved.⁴ The Campbell bridge has been restored twice since being built in 1909. It was first restored in 1964 by the Crescent Garden Club,³ and again in 1990.⁶ The bridge itself is currently owned by the Greenville County, and was closed off to traffic in the early 1980s.⁴ The land surrounding the bridge was owned by Sylvia Pittman until 2005.⁴ Plans emerged for a park to be built around the bridge, and in mid 2005 Pittman sold 10 acres (40,000 m2) of surrounding land to the Greenville County, which paid for it.⁴ She said, “I had in mind to have a park preserve this to let everyone enjoy this like we have.”⁴ The US$180,000 in beginnings of the park were covered through state and county grants.⁴
