Zeller-Smith Covered Bridge - Window midway adds a little light and view of creek

Zeller-Smith Covered Bridge

(1 review)

If you've been following my reviews for a while then you know I absolutely adore covered bridges…read more So it should be no surprise that I have decided to visit a few while on our summer family vacation passing through Ohio. Zeller-Smith was on my radar because of it's proximity to our hotel. I found the drive to this bridge to be very enjoyable. Ohio is full of farmland and most all the fields have only recently been planted. Since the Springtime vegetation is so low, you can see for miles and miles. I truly loved how subdivisions and single family homes were integrated into the farmland landscape. Sort of made me feel like Marty McFly in Back to the Future when he went back in time and discovered the "coming soon" sign for the sudivision his family home would eventually be located in. BRIDGE FACTS Year Built: 1905 Builder: J.W.Buchanan Length: 79 feet Relocated to current location: 1986 Truss type: Multiple Kingpost Location: Sycamore Creek Park over Sycamore Creek in Pickerington, Ohio. FINAL THOUGHTS The park area is nice and has two playgrounds. On both sides of the bridge are large expansive fields. On the parking side there is a huge soccer field while on the other is an Arboretum with a lovely sitting area and beautiful meadow. The walk to the bridge from the parking area is paved and a small gravel path leads you to the creek where you can get a side view of this historic structure. I didn't find the paint color scheme chosen for this bridge to be attractive, but I do applaud the communities effort to integrate this bridge into the landscape. It is obvious someone (or a group of someone's) is caring for this bridge. Thank you for preserving it for our generation and many generations to come.

I'm a big sucker for 60s, so I made a point to check out DACO's current Mod/60s exhibit before it…read morewas gone. All I can say is: So cool! Yes, I definitely wish there were more artifacts, posters and clothing on display, but that's just because I'm a lover of any and all things 60s era, so anything original to the time period just plain excites the dickens out of me and makes me think and ponder socio-economic conditions, and life in general, during America's past 100 years even more, haha. The museum is next to the Sherman house, a historical home with its own significance. There's plenty of free street parking if the small lot next to DACO happens to be full. I believe it was $11 to see their spotlight exhibit. If you're an art/history buff, I recommend you take a day stroll down to Lancaster and stop here; anything of historical significance is always worth patronizing, imo.

The current exhibit is Flower Power: Flora in Fashion. I loved all of the use of floral print…read morefabrics and the big paper flowers decorating the entrance to the exhibit. As part of the exhibit, I took a flower arranging class at the art education center on the museum property. Our instructors Brooke and Elizabeth were very knowledgable and gave us lots of helpful tips for working with flowers at home. Elizabeth provided all of the fresh flowers from her floral design business and farm (Bluegreen Gardens) and they were gorgeous. Admission to the Decorative Arts Center is free. On the weekends, they are open Saturdays and Sundays 1-4 pm. The staff is made up of volunteers and they are always fantastic.
