Schenck's Mill Covered Bridge
Schenck's Mill Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in East Hempfield Township, United States.
The Schenck's Mill Covered Bridge spans the Big Chiques Creek with a single wooden span measuring 96 feet in length and 15 feet in width.
Built in 1847 by Charles Malhorn and Levi Fink, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1855, incorporating a double Burr arch truss design with steel hanger rods.
