Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Lynchburg, OH

Lynchburg is a village that straddles the line between Highland County and Clinton County in southwestern Ohio, with most of the village in Highland County.

Lynchburg was platted in 1830 and named after Lynchburg, Virginia, the birthplace of one of its first settlers.

Lynchburg had a population of 1,510 at the 2020 census, and the 2010 census counted 1,499 people in 575 households.

Lynchburg's best-known landmark is the Lynchburg Covered Bridge, a wooden Long truss bridge built in December 1870 by Hillsboro bridge builder John C. Gregg for $3,138.66, spanning the East Fork of the Little Miami River.

The Lynchburg Covered Bridge is Ohio's only covered bridge that spans a county line, with the Highland–Clinton county boundary running through its midpoint, and it is Highland County's last remaining covered bridge.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1976, when it was one of only eight surviving Long truss covered bridges.

Retired from vehicle traffic in 1969 and now pedestrian-only, the bridge was later restored and converted to a pseudo-suspension design, the only covered bridge in North America converted that way.

In the 1980s, the bridge's cross-county position inspired an annual Highland County versus Clinton County tug-of-war contest held at its center.

The covered bridge anchors Ruth Cramton Memorial Park, a gathering place for community events in the village, which covers about 0.95 square miles.
