Covered Bridge Tour in Bucks County, PA #7

Built of oak in 1832, it is the only Bucks County covered bridge which crosses the Delaware Division of the historic Pennsylvania Canal which runs parallel to the Delaware River. It also affords the visitor a view of the canal and it's locks through its windows on both sides. Ulerstown was once known as Mexico. it was later named for Michael Uhler who owned a cnal boat building yard and opened a string of canal boats.
Loved this view of the huge "hill" behind the bridge!

Al petting Magic, the dog who ran into the bridge to greet us! We enjoyed chatting with Magic's owner!

Thanks so much, Sylvia! Still have 4 more than I'll be done. I must admit that Ulerstown was one of the most enjoyable covered bridges we visited, but the last one still holds that honor!
