Cullman, AL 35057
The Clarkson Covered Bridge, built in 1904, is one of Cullman's most recognized historical sites, originally serving farmers and travelers crossing Crooked Creek. Now a centerpiece of a park designed in period fashion, the bridge highlights its historical significance, having been restored after a storm in 1921.
In 1974, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and subsequent restoration efforts included the development of hiking trails, picnic areas, and historical structures like a Dogtrot log cabin and a working grist mill. The site hosts a variety of activities, including weddings and car shows, making it a vibrant destination for both locals and visitors.
