Driving through the undulating landscape of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, one will most likely view all-stone or red-painted barns, a horse and buggy driven by an Amish farmer, and miles and miles of corn fields. A special treat is coming across a covered bridge, which is easy to do since there are more than two dozen in this county.
Built primarily in the 1800s, covered bridges once numbered over 100 in this southern Pennsylvania county alone. Most fell into disrepair and have been lost to the ravages of time and nature, but several have been saved and are highlighted on various downloadable driving and biking maps.
