Earnest Bridge is a 75 foot covered bridge, built to aid passage across Mohawk River near Marcola, OR

The original bridge over the river was constructed in 1903, replaced by the Earnest bridge in 1938.

During the 1960s, the bridge was featured in the Civil War drama, Shenandoah starring Jimmy Stewart. The bridge was consequently restored.
