The Hannah Bridge spans Thomas Creek just 1.5 miles from Jordan, where a covered bridge also crossed the stream until 1986. Thomas Creek was named for Frederick Thomas, who obtained a Donation Land Claim and settled on the banks of the creek in 1846. In 1853, John Joseph Hannah arrived by wagon train and was granted a 151 acre tract of land bounded by Thomas Creek and Bilyeu Creek. Hannah built one of the first sawmills in the area, powered with water from Bilyeu Creek.
Recent work on the bridge includes a new roof, flooring, paint and new portal boards. During the summer months, the bridge is a popular spot with swimmers often jumping from the bridge into the deep pool beneath. Several television commercials have been filmed at the site.
