• The Bennetts Mill Bridge crosses Tygarts Creek in northern Greenup county. Built in 1855, it is a 155-foot Wheeler truss bridge, the only example still standing.
• Just to the north of the bridge, alongside the creek at an obvious flat area, is where the mill stood. Timbers from a dam that helped power the mill can still be seen in the creek at this location (as of 2004). Behind the house adjacent to the bridge is a mound that is the site of an old foundry. Mr. Bennett built the bridge in 1855 when he realized that half of his business was on the other side of the creek.
• East side of SR 7 approximately 0.9 miles north of SR 10 (AA Highway)
• Location: N38° 37.853' W82° 55.606'

• In October 2003 it was announced that the bridge would be rebuilt historic in appearance, but with only 15% of its original wood. Upon re-assembly in 2004 the bridge was raised two feet.
