Alabama is home to several covered bridges. While some are still easily accessible for drivers, others can only be viewed and admired. One area of the state where you’ll find some of Alabama’s most beautiful covered bridges is in Blount County, which is known as the “Covered Bridge Capital of Alabama.” Each year, a festival is held in Blount County to honor these covered bridges, which you can read all about below.
