The Hillsgrove covered bridge was built in the 1850s.  It was named for the nearby town.


The Hillsgrove Covered Bridge is a Burr arch truss covered bridge over Loyalsock Creek in Hillsgrove Township, Sullivan County

It was built around 1850, and was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1973.



The bridge is also sometimes known as Rinkers Covered Bridge.

More Covered Bridges That Stood In  Hillsgrove

The above photo is labeled
"C. W. Sones Company. Hillsgrove Highway Covered Bridge and the last of 3 S&EM  railroad bridges".  I do not think this is the same bridge that still stands today?  But I could be wrong.
And then there is this one   - "Hillsgrove Bridge of Spooks & railroad bridge in 1907. Both are no longer standing."
