Winding Through An October Morning ...

“In the entire circle of the year there are no days as delightful as those of a fine October.”

                      ~ Alexander Smith

                         ~ Scottish poet & essayist

                            ~1829-1867

Game Preserve Road winds through the historic Schlicher Covered Bridge, bathed in the morning light, on a gorgeous late October day at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

 

Schlicher’s is an historic wooden covered bridge in North Whitehall Township. 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, and was closed for a time for needed renovations.
