Pennsylvania Covered Bridges - Washington County
Henry Bridge
One of two covered bridges that sit within the grounds of Mingo Creek County Park, the Henry Bridge is one of my favorite settings for a covered bridge.  The Henry sits about one mile downstream from the Ebenezer Church Bridge.  The two bridges are featured in an eight bridge, Covered Bridge Festival, that runs in Washington and Greene Counties.  The bridge may be closed at various times as it is well over 120 years old.
