Description
Here in Columbia and Montour counties, stretching across the Susquehanna River Valley, covered bridge fans will find a large concentration of these historic wooden bridges. Over two dozen bridges send Columbia and Montour County bridge fans over the back country roads of central Pennsylvania during the Annual Covered Bridge and Arts Festival. Every year, in early October, the Columbia-Montour Visitor Bureau holds the free festival. Amusement park rides, plenty of food, music and square dancing are part of this fun-filled festival weekend.
Pictured here is the Parrs Mill Covered Bridge which spans the North Branch of Roaring Creek. Built in 1866 for $1,275, the historic bridge no longer supports vehicular traffic. Utilizing Burr arch support trusses, the historic bridge measures 84 feet long and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
