Gilpins Falls Covered Bridge, located in Cecil County, Maryland, is a historic structure built in 1860 by Joseph Johnson, making it the longest standing covered bridge in the state. With a clear span length of 100 feet, it has survived numerous floods and remains a testament to the engineering of its time.

After facing neglect and the threat of collapse, the bridge underwent significant rehabilitation efforts, culminating in a restoration project funded by federal and state grants, as well as private donations. The bridge stands today as a preserved piece of history, reflecting the community's commitment to maintaining its cultural heritage.
