Larkin Covered Bridge

Larkin Covered Bridge is a 60-foot wooden Burr truss covered bridge near Eagle outside Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, with an unusual history of relocation and rebuilding. First built in 1854 to carry traffic over Marsh Creek beside Jesse Larkin's gristmill near Milford Mills, it was rebuilt in 1881. Pennsylvania acquired and moved it in 1972 before the area was flooded for the creation of Marsh Creek Lake and Marsh Creek State Park, where it then served as a pedestrian crossing between day camps. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, it was acquired by Upper Uwchlan Township in 1998 and rebuilt again in 2006 as part of the township trail system.
