Logan Mills Covered Bridge is the last remaining covered bridge in Clinton County, Pa.
It's located on Logan Mills Road,
Right beside the old Logan's Mill.
Logan's Mill was a water powered grist mill. Read more about it here:
The bridge, built in 1874, is 55-foot-long (17 m) 12-foot-wide (3.7 m), Queen post truss bridge crosses Fishing Creek, southwest of Longanton Pa.
According to a 1979 article in the Danville News, when the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places:
"The Queenpost truss is unusually Shallow, being only approximately six to eight feet... Neither the designer and builder, nor the reason for using so small a truss are known. "
1979
The bridge was renovated in 2002 at a cost of $986,000, and a dedication ceremony was held in 2003 when the renovations were complete. The Sugar Valley Historical society had picture frames and deacons benches made from the replaced boards.
