Those joining Gray will include Judge-Executives James Kay of Woodford County and Joe Pat Covington of Scott County, and state Reps. Joe Graviss of Versailles and Phillip Pratt of Georgetown. Parking will be available at Weisenberger Mills, and cover will be available in case of rain.
Under a longstanding agreement with Scott County, Woodford County has responsibility for the bridge over South Elkhorn Creek at the historic Weisenberger Mill, but the state agreed to be responsible for its replacement several years ago. The state closed the old bridge for safety reasons July 1, 2016, removed it Aug. 30, 2019, and opened the new one Dec. 23.
What a lovely picture of the mill, waterfall, and bridge from behind a tree. Really captures the essence of the place. It only makes sense that Scott County should bear the lion's share of maintaining the bridge , because without it there is no direct access from Zion Hill to the rest of the county.
