Red is the traditional color of covered bridges, but not Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridge. Built in 1848, this bridge was lifted up off its abutments from rising waters in 1972 and carried downstream! It was rebuilt the next year, with a length of 180 feet. Unique to this bridge are horizontal floor boards - gives a different vibration when crossing! Beautiful setting!
4. Devils Den

Devils Den is a rock formation that can be explored by the whole family. Located in the middle of Gettysburg National Military Park below Little Round Top. The rock formation is interesting enough to warrant a 2 hour excursion and is a great place for children to get some energy out.

This pile of boulders and rocks saw such horrific fighting on the second day of the battle. The rocks you walk among are original to the day and one can only imagine the great loss of life that occurred on these very stones. This place is hallowed ground where brave men bled and died. I was filled with awe and respect. A somber experience.

This covered bridge is also known as Eshleman's Mill Covered Bridge or Paradise Bridge. Built in 1845 and rebuilt in 1893, the bridge spans the Pequea Creek in Lancaster County. We spent a day driving through the countryside and enjoyed locating these historical bridges!

Though it can no longer be rung, the bell remains a lasting American symbol of freedom.

A must do!!! Visit very emotional and educational about the iconic symbol of American independence, set in the ruins of the colonial house.

9. Bedford County Covered Bridge Driving Tour
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 146 reviews
Bedford County is blessed with 14 covered bridges. Built approximately 100 years ago by craftsmen who worked almost entirely by hand, these structures withstand the rain, snow and hard use of the traveling public. The county's bridges range in length from the 136 foot Herline Bridge near Manns Choice, PA to the 56 foot Palo Alto bridge south of Hyndman. Twelve spans are Burr-truss bridges, named after their designer, Theodore Burr. These bridges are held in place by a set of trusses that interact with the arch that spans the length of the bridges, creating added strength. A lot of people ask, "Why did they cover the bridges?". One answer is that wooden bridges with exposed superstructures can rot ... covering and roofing them protects them from the weather so they'll last longer.

We spent a beautiful sunny Saturday driving the loop to see 9 of the 14 bridges. We included lunch at Jean Bonnet Tavern, the Mount Ararat scenic overlook and a quick stop to Koontz Coffee Pot... total of 6 hours. There is a bathroom located by Shawnee Lake if you need to stop (just an FYI). Use the GPS coordinates on the covered bridges map you can request by calling 800-765-3331 or stop at visitors center to pick up. The bridges are not all marked on the roads you will travel, you need the map and you won’t always have the best cell service in a few spots. We saw bridges 5-13 on the map which is basically a loop. Started at 9 RYOT and continued to 5 Herline, stopped for lunch then finished with 13-10 in that order. So many great pictures and it’s mid October with many weeks left of changing leaves this year. I recommend going soon!!

The Museums include the Agricultural & Industrial Museum, the Historical Society Museum, and the Fire Museum. Historic sites are the Colonial Complex, the Bonham House, and the Murals of York.

First, get the tickets good for this place, the industrial history museum, and, when open, the Colonial center. Well worth it. The history center is well-done with some very significant artifacts, including a huge display of case clocks, a lot of Colonial items, and some good WWII era items. But, the real gem is the nearby industrial museum, which has a display of Pullman Automobiles, some other historic autos, and a lot of steampunk industrial items that were just pure fun! Very well done. The Colonial buildings were not open due to cold but we could at least walk past and admire them. This entire complex is one of the best American history centers I've visited out of many. Admission to all is $15 per adult. My wife and I plan to go back in better weather to do it again.
