Weaver's Mill Covered Bridge

Weaver's Mill Covered Bridge is a 19th-century covered bridge crossing the Conestoga River with wooden double Burr arch trusses supported by steel hanger rods. This structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This bridge was built in 1878 by B.C. Carter and J.F. Stauffer and represents an important period of bridge construction in the region. It gained official recognition when added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The red-painted exterior and white approaches reflect traditional building methods used by bridge makers throughout Lancaster County. These design choices helped local craftspeople identify their work across the region.

You can park vehicles on either side of Weaver's Mill Road to reach the bridge. Be respectful of the surrounding private properties when visiting the area.

This bridge sits upstream from where the Conestoga River meets the Little Conestoga, offering views of Lancaster County's farming landscape. Its location makes it a notable point along the region's historical bridge route.
