Thomas J. Malone Covered Bridge
The Malone covered bridge originally stood, in the 1870s over Middle Run in Elkrun Township, on State Route No. 154, between Lisbon and Elkton.
About 1912, the Elkrun Township Trustees moved it to the Wade Huffman farm , to be used as a storage shed. In 1922, it was again relocated to Pine Hollow Road.
Mr. Malone, who did extensive covered bridge research work, found the structure and recognized it as originally a covered bridge.
With the co-operation of the Elkrun Township Trustees, Bert Dawson Jr., County Engineer, the Columbiana County Historical Association and the Columbiana County Forests and Parks Council, the bridge was relocated to Pioneer Village. Restoration was completed in 1971.
The bridge is 42 feet long, constructed using multiple or altered kingsport trusses. It rested on stone cut abutments, the sides and portals are vertical boards stained dark brown, the deck consist of lengthwise planking and the roof has wood shingles. It is no longer an active bridge supporting vehicle traffic, but rather is on display. The bridge has been the site of many wedding over the years.
