Viewing this site is as close to going home as I can, all have passed away.

My = "Sentimental journey", Home

Dedicated to my parents: Edward Morton Duvall Jr. and Della Lee Henderson

If I, as a about to be born child, could search the earth to select my about to be parents,
I would have chosen them!
They taught me compassion, trust, guided me, and most of all, gave me love!
I will miss them until  the day I go to meet them, again!

Of all my memories of Frankfort, Ky., this is my fondest!
When we heard that ole bridge singing, we're close to our grandparents at Folks of Elkhorn!
Some history of this bridge?  Will look for it!

A few miles East of Frankfort, KY!
It is within a few yards of my place of birth!

Franklin County's only covered bridge spans
North Elkhorn Creek and is 120 ft. long and 11 ' 6" wide, 12' high.

The bridge is a Howe truss design. It was built in 1855 by George Hockensmith.

Each entrance has a sawtooth edge, the
lattice is pinned with trunnels (treenails).
Restored in 1906 by Louis Bower.
Closed to traffic in 1954.
This bridge is/was listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, 1974.

It was almost destroyed in Mar 1997, by the heavy rains and flooding.
Again restored to its present state by local
concerned citizens, with the help of some State
funding.
