Covered Bridges In area of Williamsport PA


1854 Lithograph "View Of Williamsport Pa"  [Looking East]
Showing both the covered bridge crossing the river, and a boat on the west branch canal.
The covered bridge here connected Williamsport to "Rocktown".  Rocktown later became part of what is South Williamsport today.

"Historic Covered Bridges of Central Pennsylvania" - Williamsport Area
The back of the postcard identifies the bridges as:
Buttonwood, crossing Blockhouse Creek near Buttonwood, built 1898
Moreland Bridge, Crossing Muncy Creek near Lairdsville, built 1888
Cogan House Bridge, crossing Larry's Creek, built 1877

See more about the Buttonwood Covered Bridge, which stills stands, here:


"Over the Lycoming creek at West Fourth Street" - 
that would be just west of the baseball stadium where the Crosscutters play, and also just west of the original little league field.


Painting by Mrs Maltby, of a horse and buggy crossing the covered bridge over Wallis Run.


Covered railroad bridge spanning Lycoming Creek at the northern end of Heshbon Road.   It was replaced by a trestle bridge, which is today part of the rail trail.
