Take a short drive down Georgia Highway 15, towards Greensboro and watch for the Elder Mill Covered Bridge signs on the left. This bridge was constructed in 1897 and is one of the few remaining covered bridges that allows traffic to cross in Georgia that has not been reinforced with steel beams underneath. The bridge, 100 feet long, originally covered Calls Creek and was moved to its current location in 1924. Restoration was last done to the bridge in 1997.
