Bible Covered Bridge
Located in southwest Greene County, approximately 12 miles from Greeneville, The Bible Covered Bridge is a unique bridge.

The Bible Bridge was built in 1923 by the E.A. Bible family as a private bridge to serve their farm. A self-taught engineer, A.A. McLean, who practiced in Greene County, built the bridge. In 1940, the county court requested the county's financial committee to determine a just compensation for Mr. Bible in order to make public his farm road and bridge. The court agreed to pay him $750 for the bridge.
