Pequea Creek

Originally built by Christian Brackbill in 1824 (cost unknown) as the Bowman’s Mill Bridge.  It was rebuilt by James C. Carpenter in 1875 for $1860.  With an 11 ft. opening, it is the county’s narrowest covered bridge.  In the winter of 2001, the mill was torn down and the stones used to make a stone fence on the property.  Location:  on Penn Grant Road 1/2 mile south of Lampeter in W. Lampeter Township.
