Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges
Author: Fred J. Moll
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 0738592498
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This book invites the reader to step back in time and imagine the days when ancestors traveled through wooden spans to reach their daily destinations. Starting in the early 1800s, Pennsylvania's rich forests provided natural material for the construction of more than 1,500 covered bridges across the state. The first covered bridge was built in 1805. Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges looks at the earliest covered bridges as well as those that have survived modern progress. Images also show rare railroad covered bridges that have been saved from destruction over the years.

Wooden Treasures

Book Description
"Wooden Treasures" is the first complete history of one of Bucks County's enduring icons: the covered bridge.At one time, Bucks County had 51 covered bridges. Today, only 12 such bridges remain available to the public, and they have a special place regionally as "cultural treasures." That heritage goes back to Theodore Burr's landmark 1806 covered bridge at Morrisville to the 39 local covered bridges that connected towns by 1875.However, most were gone by 1940, as progress led to their demolition. It fell to a small group of people to save the remaining bridges in the late 1950s, for future generations to enjoy.
