Factory Bridge

Factory Bridge, also called Horsham Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge in White Deer Township, central Pennsylvania, that carries a road over White Deer Creek. Built in 1880 as a 60-foot King and Queen truss, it represents a traditional short-span design strengthened by paired vertical and diagonal members. Its timber construction and enclosed form reflect practical bridge-building methods of the time, when covering wooden bridges protected their structural members from weather and prolonged their usefulness. Repairs in 1954 and 1976 show continuing preservation, and its 1980 listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognized both its historic character and its place in Pennsylvania’s covered-bridge tradition.
