Shearer's Covered Bridge was originally built in 1847 by Jacob Clare, at a cost of about $600, over Chickies Creek in Lancaster County. It was rebuilt in 1855 and remained there until it was moved four miles in 1971 to its present location at Manheim Memorial Park, spanning Big Chickies Creek. The bridge has a unique single-span wooden double Burr Arch Truss design. It is the only covered bridge in the county painted entirely red, and it is one of only three covered bridges in the county with horizontal side boards and windows.
