The Penn bridge on Gheer's Mill Road in Wilkesville Township, one of five Vinton County covers, was hailed as the best examined humpback bridge.

The 114 year old structure, built before 1848 by Martin McGraff, carries a five ton load limit over Raccoon Creek. Gheer's Mill site is among the county's oldest bridges.
