Bridge # 35-68-06 Built in 1887 by E. S. Sherman, this 88-foot bridge crosses Sam's Run on Aukerman Creek Road, now called Brubaker Road. The sides of the bridge are open to give a better sight distance because of the sharp road curves in and out of the bridge. When first built there were no openings on the side of the bridge, but due to safety concerns and the auto industry supplying faster speeds on vehicles, the sides were opened up. Since the removal of the sides this bridge has increased in scenic value and has become one of the most picturesque in southwestern Ohio. With the style changes, this bridge was painted white, instead of the traditional red. Brubaker Bridge is located one mile northwest of Gratis, near the Historical Society’s Swartsel farm. Unfortunately the roof caved in and the bridge is closed now.
