Description
The Hess Bridge, built in 1875 by Joseph Reline and W.J. Manning for $1349.50, followed a Burr arch design. The bridge, crossing Huntington Creek, provided access to the Hess sawmill and farm. Josiah Hess was part of the 4th generation of Hess family members that called Pennsylvania home. Johann Conrad Hess, just 16 years old, climbed aboard the ship Glasgow in 1730 and set out on his journey to the New World and Philadelphia. It wasn't long until the Hess families migrated to central Pennsylvania, establishing farms and businesses in Columbia County.
