Red Run Mill Bridge

Red Run Mill or Oberholzer's Bridge has been bypassed by the highway and, it seems, by Muddy Creek as well. It is now on private property adjacent to Red Run Campground and is used as a storage shed. (Jon D. Ensminger informs me that it is not on the property of the campground, as some sources indicate). Unfortunately, it is not well kept up.
