The Crew and I recently took a trip to Pennsylvania and saw many sites and went to many cool places. Therefore I also have lots of neat stories to tell and adventures to share!
The posts to come will be pretty long and detailed, but I decided to start with a quick one to whet the appetites of my readers. The Stillwater, PA Covered Bridge:
The Stillwater Covered Bridge was built in 1849 at a cost of $1,124.00 and it crosses Big Fishing Creek. It is Covered Bridge No. 134 and is one of 28 historic covered bridges in the Pennsylvania counties of Columbia and Montour.
The bridge is 151 feet long with a galvanized steel roof. It has a Burr Arch Truss style, which is a combination arch and multiple kingpost truss design.
Apparently there has been damage done by snowmobiles on and around the bridge, despite this sign being prominently displayed:
There is also an abandoned church near the bridge. Not sure of the name or denomination, but it was pretty cool!
You can find out more about this covered bridge - as well as the other historic covered bridges in the area - at this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ColumbiaCountyCoveredBridgeAssoc
This was a really neat little piece of history which demonstrates the fact that even the simplest of sights can be awesome places to visit!
Until Next Time,
Miss Myo
