About Callaghan
Callaghan is a quiet community in the valley just west of Covington, surrounded by the forested hills of Alleghany County. Its most famous landmark is the Humpback Covered Bridge, a distinctive 1850s arched wooden span crossing Dunlap Creek that now serves as a peaceful roadside park. It is a popular spot for an afternoon walk, a family picnic by the water, or simply taking in the mountain views.
Along with its natural scenery, the area has plenty of historic charm, including landmark 19th-century estates like Milton Hall scattered among the hills. Living here gives you the privacy and open space of country life, while keeping you just a quick drive from everyday conveniences, shops, and dining in Covington.
