Fall foliage blends with temperatures in the 70s on a beautiful early November afternoon to create a quintessential Indian Summer day at Manassas Guth Covered Bridge.

The bridge crosses the Jordan Creek in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. The historic wooden bridge was constructed in 1858 and rebuilt in 1882. It is a 108-foot long Burr Truss Bridge with vertical siding. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is part of Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

The bridge is also known as Guth’s Covered Bridge and Guth’s Bridge.
