Fleishers Mill

Fleishers Mill which was built in 1887 and located near Newport PA, in Perry County, was damaged on March 8, 2007 by a truck that hit the bridge, but never stopped to report it.
Accroding to the Patriot News Newspaper, 7 of the support beams for the roof were damaged.
They are asking for anyone with information to contact the police department.
Many people and organizations work hard to maintain and preserve these bridges, its sad to see when someone damages a bridge and never takes responsibility to report it.
Hopefully Perry County will restore the bridge.

This is how beautiful the bridge was in 1965

Dellville Covered Bridge



Dellville Covered Bridge (38-50-16)

This photo taken in 1973- Dellville Covered bridge is located in Perry County, Pennysylvania. The bridge is one of the longest covered bridge in the county. Perry County has 14 bridges still standing. Dellville is 174 foot long and 20 feet wide. It was built in 1889, and crosses Sherman's creek. It was added into the national registry of historic places in 1980. I remember visiting this bridge many years ago with my grandfather, with being young, it just seemed so huge back then. You can see all the Perry County Bridges from the Fred Yenerall Collection here. Its a great way to explore Pennsylvania history through photos.
