Drift Creek Bridge was originally built on a span of the highway only 1.5 miles from the coast, as new roads and highways were built later on it diverted the traffic from it’s original remote site.

When the bridge was originally built in 1914, the area surrounding the bridge site was known as Lutgens, and in 1917, the name was changed to Nice. Overall, the area has had at least eight name changes occur in this community prior to the closing of the post office in 1919.

This bridge was completely dismantled in late 1997. The County gave the timbers that made up the covered bridge to the Sweitz family who owned land only eight miles to the north of the original site.

Laura and Kerry Sweitz had envisioned the house being rebuilt over their concrete bridge that provides access to their property across Bear Creek. Thier vision was to resurrect & preserve the bridge which now stands in a small, beautiful park-like setting.

The Sweitz family has given the public easement for heritage purposes for all time.
