Poinsett Bridge

The Poinsett Bridge, built and designed by Joel Poinsett in 1820, is part of the original state road leading from Charleston to to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The bridge spans 130 feet across Little Gap Creek and its most remarkable feature is the 14-foot Gothic Arch. The Poinsett Bridge is the only known remaining bridge commissioned and built by Joel Poinsett. The bridge was crossed by civil war soldiers of both sides and used by moonshiners to transport their goods. The bridge has fallen into disrepair and is said to be haunted!
