Knecht's Mill Covered Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Springfield Township, United States.
Knecht's Mill Covered Bridge extends 110 feet over Cooks Creek, featuring white oak construction with white pine and hemlock roof materials.
The bridge construction began in 1873 under the supervision of County Commissioner John Knecht, following specifications recorded in documents from 1871.
The structure stands on the path of the 1737 Walking Purchase, marking a significant location in the negotiations between settlers and Lenape Indians.
Located south of Springtown on Township Road 424, the bridge maintains its function while preserving the engineering methods of the 19th century.
A special dedication plaque created in 2018 commemorates the bridge's inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places since December 1980.
