Rinard Covered Bridge
The Rinard Family were among the earliest settlers in Ludlow Township. John Rinard moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio with parents early on. In 1824, John married Nancy Ray and raised 12 children. Among the 12 was John W. Rinard. John W. owned roughly 250 acres of land in this area, including the plot that this covered bridge was built on.
The Rinard covered bridge is located 1.5 miles north of the Hune covered bridge on County Road 406 (Tice Run) just off Ohio State Route 26. Numbered 35-84-28, the 130 foot span was built in 1875 using the Smith truss system. The bridge was swept off its piers during the flooding of September 19, 2004 caused by hurricane Ivan. It was rebuilt and rededicated on October 21, 2006.
