At only 19 feet, the Church Hill Covered Bridge is the shortest covered bridge in the United States. Originally, it spanned Middle Run on Church Hill Road. It was located near a sawmill on the Pike Farm. An abandoned church was located just up the road. The isolated location, and the fact that the bridge and church were supposedly haunted, made it a prime target for vandalism. It was almost demolished after falling into a dilapidated condition, but luckily it was saved and relocated to Elkton in 1982.
