A sign on the Masonic Lodge
in Vanceburg shows it was built originally in 1876 and rebuilt after the fire in 1915.

Kentucky has about 13 covered
bridges, ranging in condition from poor to substantial. Lewis County has one of these
covered bridges on Cabin Creek. The bridge is deteriorating rapidly from both weather and
vandalism. This old landmark, built in 1875, must be preserved and rescued before it goes
beyond redemption. |

|
All of Kentucky's bridges have
something unique about each one. The Cabin Creek Bridge has an interesting truss work that
was added to the bridge in the early 1900s. |

|
Recently the highway department found
the Cabin Creek heritage marker on the bank of the creek and reset it. It appeared to have
been pushed over the bank by someone driving a car. Unfortunately, since it has been
reset, someone has pierced it with three bullets, one of the holes being quite large,
seemingly done by a deer rifle. |

This photo is not marked to indicate
where it was taken, but it looks like other photos Jim Burroway has seen of the Glen
Springs Resort. Nashtown would have been just a few miles down the road, southwest, of the
resort. |

Boone Furnace, built in 1856, was one of
many blast furnaces built in Carter and Greenup counties. The thousands of acres around it
contained plentiful iron ore, freestone, and timber. The furnace served as an impetus for
the founding of the town of Garrison (Stone City) and the building of the K&F
Railroad. |

The Kinniconick Hotel has been a landmark
on the terraced hillside above the creek since the mid-1800s. Sam and Marge McEldowney,
several years ago, renovated it and developed a beautiful, serene place to visit and
relax. (Photo by Bill Florence) |
