Built in 1909, the Campbell Covered Bridge remains the only covered bridge in South Carolina. Charles Irwin Willis erected the 38-foot long, 12-foot wide pine structure across the Beaverdam Creek on Pleasant Hill road. Locals believe that the bridge was named for Lafayette Campbell, who at the time that the bridge was built owned 194 acres near the bridge. Records, providing some evidence from the Greenville City and County Directory, show that A.L. Campbell was once the owner of the 194-acre Highland Township. In 1966 major restoration work was completed on the bridge and just recently improvements were made for a Boy Scout Eagle Award.
