The Honey Run Covered Bridge, built over Butte Creek in 1887, was an iconic landmark cherished for 131 years until it was destroyed in the November 2018 Camp Fire. Growing up in Paradise, California, this bridge was a favorite spot to swim, explore, and make lifelong memories. Even now, I love returning with my own kids to share a piece of what Paradise meant to me — tubing down the creek, jumping off rocks, and enjoying the shade of the bridge.

This pendant was originally created as a donation piece for the Honey Run Covered Bridge Association, and now it’s available for anyone who wants to honor and remember this historic site. Proceeds support the bridge’s reconstruction and help preserve its legacy.
