Baumgardener's Covered Bridge
Science & Tech
Baumgardener's Covered Bridge, officially the Pequea #10 Bridge, is a historic covered road bridge over Pequea Creek in Martic Township, Pennsylvania. Built in 1860 by Davis Kitch for $1,284, it uses a single-span wooden double Burr arch truss with steel hanger rods, an oak-plank deck, and the red-and-white finish typical of many Lancaster County covered bridges. County owned and maintained, it was damaged by flooding in 1986 and restored in 1987 through a $200,000 project that raised it 4 feet and lengthened it 9 feet to better resist high water. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 1980.
