The warm air melds with the chirping
of birds and crickets, the only sounds in the still beauty of a July evening at Schlicher
Covered Bridge in summer, my most favorite of seasons.
Schlicher Covered Bridge is an
historic wooden covered bridge located in North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
It is a 108-foot-long, Burr Truss bridge that crosses the Jordan Creek and was
constructed in 1882. It has vertical plank siding and a gable roof. It was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It underwent needed
renovations a few years ago.
It can be accessed from the Covered
Bridge Trail at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
