Abstract:
North Carolina's number one covered bridge fan is a transplanted Vermonter. Artist Betty Gallup noticed the dearth of research on covered bridges when she moved to North Carolina and set out to fill the gap. She joined forces with the Randolph County Historical Society and started a complete compilation of North Carolina's former and existing covered bridges, listing and describing them by county, making pen and ink drawings when old photos or adequate descriptions were found. So far she has located 97 bridges in 26 counties and has produced pictures of 70.

Abstract:
Possibly the most neglected historic structures in North Carolina are the old covered bridges. Out of more than 100 of these roofed spans, the count has dwindled to three former county road bridges and one almost unnoticed combination covered bridge-grist mill. Randolph County had the most covered bridges, accounting for 50 of the 97 catalogued so far.
