Built in 1895, it is one span wide and 33 feet long and made of wood. It spans Chickamauga Creek in White County and is located near State Route 255. The bridge is currently owned by the White County Historical Society. The bridge served as a link on the Cleveland to Clayton Road, but, by 1959, the road was moved away from the bridge. The bridge has a variety of names including the Helen Bridge, Sautee Bridge, Nacoochee Bridge and Chickamauga Bridge.
The Stovall Mill Covered Bridge was featured in the 1951 movie, “I’d Climb The Highest Mountain” starring Rory Calhoun, William Lundigan and Susan Haywood.
This historic covered bridge is said to be haunted. If you stand in the bridge alone at night you are supposed to hear the cries of unseen babies and the sounds of horse-drawn carriages. This bridge is a local landmark and open to the public.
