Local knowledge

Things you learn by living here.

  • Lane County has one of the largest collections of covered bridges in the country, and several are out this direction. Locals give directions by them.
  • The Earnest Bridge, built in 1938, appeared in the 1965 James Stewart film Shenandoah.
  • This valley was mill country. The railroad ran logs down to Wendling and Springfield, and a lumber company once built a three-mile flume to float logs down to Marcola. The last big mill here liquidated in the 1950s.
