History
The Nectar Covered Bridge was built by a crew led by Zelmer C. Tidwell and uncle Forrest Tidwell over a wide section of the Locust Fork. It was once a community meeting place and a site for large baptism ceremonies. A concrete bridge has since replaced the former covered bridge, but the old stone piers remain across the river...located south of the current crossover. During its existence, the Nectar Covered Bridge was said to have been haunted by the ghost of a mail carrier who had died there.
Photos of the Nectar Covered Bridge can be found on a covered bridge website created by Dale J. Travis (linked below).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
