Olin-Dewey - 1873
Built-in 1873, the Olin's Covered Bridge, or Olin Bridge, or Olin-Dewey Road Bridge is a covered bridge that carries Dewey Road over the Ashtabula River in Plymouth Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Renovated in 1985, one of currently 16 drivable bridges in the county, is a single-span Town truss design, and is currently the only bridge in the county named for a family. The Olin family has owned property next to the bridge since it was built. Alson and Alvina (Bennett) Olin were a pioneering family, coming to this area in 1832 from New York. His son Alson Olin, bought land in 1860, next to where the bridge now sits. Members of the Olin family also operate a small museum and gift shop just east of the bridge at the house previously owned by Joyce Grandbouche.
