John Adams was an early settler, moving to Carroll County, Indiana in 1831. There he settled, finishing construction of his Adams Mill in 1845. In June 1871, the Carroll County Commissioners approved petitions requesting that two bridges be built over Wildcat Creek. Adams Mill Bridge was built in 1872. Both bridges were completed for a total cost of $12,237.33.
In 1996, Adams Mill Covered Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1998 the Friends of Adams Mill Valley Inc. made a deal with Kaser-Spraker Inc. of South Bend, Indiana in the amount of $545,932.00 for restoration. On Oct. 9, 1999 restoration was complete and the bridge was reopened.
