Righter to Restore Two Historic Covered Bridges in Wyandot County
The Righter Company is very excited about rehabilitating two historic covered bridges in Wyandot County. The Swartz Covered Bridge was built in 1878, rehabilitated in 1998, and is a 98′ Howe Truss design. The Parker Covered Bridge was built in 1873, caught fire on May 17, 1991, was restored in 1993, and is a 162′ Howe Truss design. Both bridges are over the Sandusky River and are posted to the National Register of Historic Places. Mobilization has begun and the work is scheduled through the end of this year. Upon completion, this will be the 56th and 57th covered bridge rehabilitation/repair by Righter!

Righter Field at Milford Center
The Righter Company purchased the right to name Field A at the Milford Center facility through the Fairbanks Summer Ball Association. The association participates in the Midwest Buckeye League along with the Plain City, West Jefferson and London communities. The funds from Righter were used to keep the expenses low for the families so more kids can participate in summer ball. This was also done in memory of Tracy’s mom, Pamela Meihls, who fought a long, courageous battle with cancer. Pictured with the banner are two nephews and a niece of Tracy Ferguson, Righter’s Controller.
