Take A Step Back in Time at Wildcat Covered Bridge in Lane County, OR
Oregon Covered Bridges 
Oregon has one of the largest concentrations of covered bridges in the United States, numbering more than fifty.  Lane County in western Oregon has 20+ covered bridges, giving it the distinction of having more covered bridges than any county west of the Mississippi River.
Covered bridges were originally built for practical reasons.  The roof and sides kept the wooden decks and trusses from rotting too quickly in the rainy Pacific Northwest.  In the late 1800s and early 20th century, steel and concrete were hard to come by.  It was common for builders, using hand tools like the adz, broadax, and auger, to cut nearby trees and construct the framework by hand on the riverbank.
Wildcat Covered Bridge 
Travelers between Eugene and Florence can see Wildcat Covered Bridge as they drive past on Highway 126, but most won't even know that it's there unless they know where to look.  It was built in 1925 as part of the Stagecoach Road.  This road was the original route to cross the Coast Range to the seashore before the Ralph A Petersen Tunnel was built in 1958 along Highway 126 to Florence and the Pacific Ocean.
