The Kesler Covered Bridge crosses the Broad River near Homer in Banks County, Georgia. Built in 1925, the 69 foot span is unusual for combining a king post truss on one side with a queen post truss on the other. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The bridge reflects the practical building methods used for small rural crossings in north Georgia. It survives as a preserved historic structure.
