Site of the Paris Covered Bridge

The Covered Bridge was built in 1857 over Middle Fork of Salt River. The builders were Joseph C. Elliott and son William B. Elliott. The bridge was a narrow Burr Arch structure, 100 feet long. It was restored in June 1952 by Roy Power and a strict weight and vehicle restriction was placed on it. In August 1958 the bridge was swept away by flood waters. Present bridge rests partly on stone foundation of the old bridge.
