Covered Bridge Tour in Bucks County #12
Nov 20, 2015 15:00:36 #
South Perkasie Bridge is the only bridge in the county which does not cross water. It once spanned Pleasant Spring Creek but some years ago it was condemned by the County. The Perkasie Historical Society led a community project which eventually saw the bridge moved to the safety of Lenape Park in Perkasie. It was dedicated as a feature of the park on August 15, 1959 and Congressman Willard S. Curtain was the principal speaker. The bridge is 93 feet long and was built in 1832 of oak and pine.
A famous sign on the end of the bridge reads "$5.00 fine for any person riding or driving over this bridge faster than a walk or smoking a segar on".

I like "view through the bridge" and the last shot most. There is a bridge in Ashtabula County, Ohio that was moved and is no longer over water also.
