Harrisburg Covered Bridge

400 yards south, this bridge was built over the East Fork of the Little Pigeon River in 1875 by Elbert Stephenson Early, an area resident who owned Newport Mills. The bridge had deteriorated and its loss was threatened until it was restored in 1972 through the joint efforts of the Great Smokies Chapter and the Spencer Clark Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Marker is at the intersection of Old Covered Bridge Road and Harrisburg Road on Old Covered Bridge Road.
