The Barrackville Covered Bridge spans Buffalo Creek in Marion County, West Virginia, and is the second-oldest covered bridge in the state. Built by Eli & Lemuel Chenoweth, the bridge features a multiple-kingpost Burr arch truss design with a total length of 145 feet and width of 24 feet. In 1991, due to deteriorating condition, an internal Acrow panel-type bridge was installed, with a replacement structure completed upstream in 1992. The bridge was rebuilt in 1999.
