About Shreyer Covered Bridge

The Shreyer Covered Bridge is an 1891 structure located on private property west of Baltimore in Fairfield County. Like several other county bridges, it has been preserved on private land and can be viewed from the public road.

History of Shreyer Covered Bridge

Built in 1891, the Shreyer Bridge served local transportation needs before being relocated or preserved on private property. Its preservation on private land has helped maintain this piece of county history, though it limits public access.

Architecture and Design

The bridge features construction typical of Fairfield County covered bridges from the 1890s. While close inspection is not possible without property owner permission, its form visible from the road shows the classic covered bridge profile.

Visiting Shreyer Covered Bridge

The bridge is located on private property west of Baltimore. There is no obvious place to pull over near the bridge, so visitors typically photograph it while passing by. Respect the property owner's privacy and do not enter the private property without permission.
