Neff's Mill Covered Bridge
Neff's Mill Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in West Lampeter Township, Pennsylvania.
Description

History
The structure was first built in 1824 by Christian Brackbill and underwent major reconstruction in 1875 by James C. Carpenter. It received its National Register listing in 1980.
Culture
The bridge displays 19th-century woodworking methods that remain visible to visitors today. Its timber structure and protective covering show traditional building techniques that were common in rural Pennsylvania during that era.
