Little Conestoga Creek

Built by Elias McMellen in 1873 for $969.  The kingpost truss was used rather than the Burr arch truss because of its short length of 53 ft., the shortest authentic covered bridge still in use.  Location:  on Shreiner Station Road one block west of Park City Mall in Manheim Township.
