Olin's Bridge, or Olin Bridge, or Olin-Dewey Road Bridge[1] is a covered bridge that carries Dewey Road over the Ashtabula River in Plymouth Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. The bridge, one of currently 16 drivable bridges in the county, is a single span Town truss design, and is currently the only bridge in the county named for a family. The Olin family has owned property next to the bridge since it was built.[2] Members of the Olin family also operate a small museum and gift shop just east of the bridge at the house previously owned by Joyce Grandbouche. The bridge’s WGCB number is 35-04-03,[3] and it is located approximately 3.6 mi (5.7 km) east of Ashtabula.
History
The Olin family owned land next to the bridge. Alson and Alvina (Bennett) Olin were a pioneering family, coming to this area in 1832 from New York. His son Alson Olin, bought land in 1860, next to where the bridge now sits.
