===Covered bridges=== [[File:Mt. Olive Road Covered Bridge.jpg|thumb|Mt. Olive Covered Bridge]] [[File:PONN HUMPBACK COVERED BRIDGE.jpg|thumb|Ponn Covered Bridge prior to arson]] There are four covered bridges located around Vinton County. The most famous bridge was the [[Ponn Humpback Covered Bridge|Ponn Bridge]], also known as the Humpback Bridge due to its shape. It was built in 1874 and was the longest one in the county. This bridge was burned down in June 2013 by arsonists.<ref>{{cite web|title=Covered Bridges|url=http://www.vintoncountytravel.com/covered_bridges.htm|website=Vinton County: Convention & Visitors' Bureau|access-date=July 28, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140731115133/http://www.vintoncountytravel.com/covered_bridges.htm|archive-date=July 31, 2014}}</ref> In 1875, the [[Mt. Olive Road Covered Bridge|Mt. Olive Bridge]] was built by a Civil War veteran named George Washington Pilcher. This bridge is open to foot traffic and goes over the Middle Fork Salt Creek. The Bay Bridge is located on the Vinton County Fairgrounds. It was moved to the fairgrounds in 1967 and is still open to pedestrians. The Cox Bridge was built in 1884. The bridge is open to foot traffic and has a picnic area near it. The Arbaugh Bridge was built in 1871, making it the oldest covered bridge in the county. This bridge is the only one in the county open to vehicles thanks to a grant that allowed for renovations.
