Christman Covered Bridge

The heavily traveled Eaton–New Hope Road had no bridge over Seven Mile Creek until the 100-foot Christman Bridge was built in 1895. It was named after local landowner Solomon Christman. Christman also owned a water-powered sawmill downstream, with remnants visible near the bridge.

Debates over wood vs. iron bridges culminated in a wooden bridge built by E.S. Sherman for $1,301, despite not being the lowest bidder, due to his reliable reputation. Harry C. Foster did the masonry for $499, using stone from Eaton Stone Company, bringing the total cost to $2,452.

The Christman Bridge is located near the northwest corner of Eaton.
