  • STAATS MILL COVERED BRIDGE<br /> Built in 1887 by H.T. Hartley, this bridge spanned the Tug Fork of Big Mill Creek at Staats Mill, about 9 miles southeast of Ripley.<br /> Hartley used the patented Long truss system to construct the 97-foot long and 11-foot wide span. The bridge was originally built in the area settled by Abraham and Ann King Staats, whose grandson Issac built Staats Mill.<br /> The bridge was moved in 1983 to its present location at Cedar Lakes state FFA-FHA camp near Ripley. It now serves as a walking bridge and its maintenance is the responsibility of the Cedar Lake Conference Center.<br /> To locate the bridge, from downtown Ripley at the junction of US route 33 and secondary route 21, take route 21 south for 9/10 mile to a small sign on the right, which says “Cedar Lakes Road”. Turn left and drive 1.7 miles to Cedar Lakes, the bridge sits over a pond inside the camp.
