Campbells Covered Bridge 4'13

Campbell's Covered Bridge is the fifth painting I completed for my State Park Series in April. Many of you may remember it from my post of Oct. 26, 2012 when we stopped to picnic at this is a well-preserved piece of Upcountry history. It is the only covered bridge remaining in South Carolina. Campbell's Covered Bridge is named for Lafayette Campbell, owner of a nearby grist mill who allowed his property to be used for the bridge's construction. Built in 1909, it bridges a lovely, meandering stream. The Campbell's Covered Bridge site is now owned by Greenville County.
