Weaver of Woolwine, Virginia, liked to design and >>>build bridges. In fact, the saw miller, blacksmith and carpenter >>>liked to do almost anything with wood whether it was bridges or >>>coffins. When he died in 1948 there were four bridges in Patrick >>>County that he had designed or built still standing. Two were over >>>Rock Castle Creek, one where Route 40 passes over the stream and >>>another on Widgeon Road. While neither of them is standing today, two >>>other of Weaver's bridges still stand, two of the seven original >>>covered bridges in Virginia. >>> Charlie Vaughan of Buffalo Ridge built the Jack's Creek >>>Covered Bridge in 1914. Walter Weaver designed and Peter C. Brammer >>>roofed the structure. The bridge is 48 feet long and 13 feet wide and >>>sits near Route 615 two miles south of Woolwine just off Route 8. It >>>served Jack's Creek Primitive Baptist Church until a modern bridge >>>replaced it in 1932. In 1969, the Woolwine Ruritan Club raised money >>>for repairs, painting and roofing material. In 1973, the Patrick >>>County Board of Supervisors took action to save the bridge getting a >>>matching grant from the Virginia Landmarks Commission to restore the >>>bridge. >>> Weaver designed and built the Bob White Covered Bridge in >>>1921. Named for the Bob White Post Office and a quail, whose call >>>sounds like "Bob White." The bridge was in service for the Smith >>>River Church of the Brethren on Route 708 until 1981 when a new road >>>was built. Patrick County took responsibility for the structure that >>>same year. The bridge has two spans and is 80 foot long with concrete >>>abutments at the end and a solid concrete pier in the center. >>>Visitors can reach the bridge by taking Route 618 1 ½ half miles >>>south of Woolwine off Route 8 and then to Route 869. The bridge's >>>trademark arundo grass grows around the bridge in the summer. >>> Both of Patrick County's Covered Bridges were placed on the >>>Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic >>>Places in 1973. The Patrick County Historical Society and the county >>>government take care of the bridges. >> >> >> >> >> ==== VAPATRIC Mailing List ==== >> Patrick Co., Va.
