Bridge # 35-82-07 The Eakin Mill Covered Bridge (also known as the "McLaughlin Bridge" or the "Geer's Mill Bridge") is a historic covered bridge in Vinton County, Ohio. Located southeast of the county seat of McArthur, this bridge carries Mound Hill Road near the community of Arbaugh. Built in 1870,[1] the Eakin Mill Bridge was constructed across the Big Raccoon Creek by the McArthur contracting firm of Gilman and Ward. Like many other covered bridges built in Ohio during the late nineteenth century, the Eakin Mill Bridge features the king post truss design; unlike most others, this bridge was built with multiple king posts, enabling it to be significantly stronger than the average bridge that was built with a single king post. This sturdiness was necessitated by the Eakin Mill, a busy gristmill along the Big Raccoon.
