Beautiful landscape, no urban sprawl. What you see is 1862.. trees are where trees were and open fields are where they were.

The sign on the bridge indicates that it was built circa 1869 (after the end of the Civil War) and is an "81 foot Multiple Kinpost Truss". And that's good enough for me. The bridge is in fantastic condition (recently restored?) and there was absolutely no graffiti, perhaps because it is situated rather fat from most traffic and people. It is 7 miles from here to I-64 at the Kentucky Route 801 exit. If you're interested in covered bridges, this is worth a stop to admire. There is at least one park bench to sit. There is a second bridge downstream and 5 miles by road. That bridge has some structural issues as of July 2020 and is my next review. https://www.yelp.com/biz/grange-city-covered-bridge-grange-city [Review 13479 overall, 798 of 2020.]

The review is for Weisenberger Mills, the mill adjacent to the bridge…read more Weisenberger Mills is a sixth‑generation family mill built in 1865, tucked beside the bridge in Midway. It's one of the few remaining small mills in the United States still doing everything the old‑fashioned way. They source grains directly from local farmers, and every step--cleaning, grinding, and even packaging--happens right there at the mill. No step of the process is outsourced. The result is a high‑quality product made by people who genuinely believe in what they produce. For a small operation, the variety is impressive: flours, cornmeal, grits, and an entire lineup of mixes. Chefs hundreds of miles away ship their products into professional kitchens, especially the grits and bulk mixes. While you can find some items at Kroger or specialty stores, many people don't realize you can buy directly from the mill. As sourdough bakers, we make the trip to Midway and purchase their high‑gluten flour in bulk. And true to the family‑run spirit of the place, it's not unusual for Mac Weisenberger or his son, Phil, to load the bags into your car themselves.

It's a bit off the grid, but I took advantage of being nearby…read more I purchased a bag of their pancake mix Yes, you can make pancakes from scratch, but this mix is excellent and easy to satisfy a pancake craving.
