| Baker Covered Bridge #35-23-33 originally crossed a branch of Rush Creek and is 90 feet long. It had a shingled roof, a single span, and rested on cut stone abutments. In 1981 this covered bridge was moved to Fairfield Union High School Grounds. | |
|
The bridge is located behind the academic buildings and beyond the athletic fields. Fairfield Union has an outdoor education facility where the Baker spans a small lake in a very scenic wooded area. The area is beautiful and very well maintained. |
| The Baker Covered Bridge was built in 1871. It is constructed with a Queenspost trust,the floor planking is laid lengthwise, has a tin roof and white plank siding. I photographed this bridge in rainy May, but the sky opened up and mother nature gave me a wonderful afternoon to take photographs. Although The Baker covered Bridge offers a captivating sight, a long walk is required from the school parking lot to reach the bridge. | |
