Dellville Covered Bridge ~ Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges

[@ruthgoebel723]

I think this is my favorite of all your bridge videos so far. Such beautiful woodwork on the inside. So glad it was rebuilt.

[@BrianPhillips-le3gl]

Thank you Cliff for documenting these covered bridges in video form all across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

For me, Dellville is a unique bridge because of its quietness. It's always been one of my favorite ones to visit before the fire and after the reconstruction. Well worth exploring on a nice day. Nice video, as always.

Thank you for taking us to see this and telling us its story. I enjoyed hearing the red wings singing.

What a beaut bridge, she is gorgeous. So please they rebuilt it. We must preserve our history. Thank you for taking me along. Please take care

[@jillseaman5079]

The irony here is we were watching your last bridge video and my husband remarked, Did he ever go to the Dellville bridge? Imagine our surprise and happiness to see this video today?!! When I worked in Harrisburg, I deliberately went to work that way just to pass the bridge every day. Of course there were many time that I went OVER this bridge prior to its closing. I am so glad the county rebuilt it and have it preserved.

That’s my wife and my swimming hole. Nothing is quite as American as swimming and wading in a creek under a covered bridge! The road was re-routed around the bridge before it burned. The site is a popular site for photographers, and I have seen several car photo shoots there. The bridge was on the major route out from Carlisle, the early equivalent of modern RT 34. That makes sense if you look at a topographical map. The loss of the bridge was indeed devastating. Hard to imagine anyone wanting to destroy it just for fun! Great place for launching a kayak into Sherman’s creek! There’s even a little launching area.

Lot of bird noise for Feb. Guess Phil was right. Very pretty bridge and setting. Safe travels. ❤❤❤❤

Cool, so glad it was rebuilt. Thanks Cliff.

I saw this in person the morning after. All that remained was a blackened skeleton. I’ve lived in Perry county my whole life. I love our covered bridges

[@katelynncohick4281]

Yes I remember seeing the after math all over as Peco history Buff

[@SharonPadget]

I’m from Michigan and I think I saw a robin a few days ago. Definite sign of spring.

Just have one comment here....worth every penny!!

[@glennjudd2467]

Nice one cliff

[@BrianPhillips-le3gl]

A beautiful spot for a beautiful bridge. I am having mixed emotions, I feel happy that they rebuilt the bridge , sad that the original wood for it is gone forever and angry that someone could be so cruel and heartless.😢. What benefit did they get out of doing such a thing? I'm just shaking my head at all the senselessness in the world today.

[@donnasilver940]

Beautiful nice water .Yeah go back when the leaves come back.

[@rickyt3961]

thank you!

[@nickmad887]

thank you.

[@bradforddillman7671]

There’s a special place in hell for people who burn these relics and a place in heaven for the guys who rebuild them. Great location.

[@rickearnest6293]

I drove over that many times.

[@norbertosa3610]

What was the reason for a covered bridge?

[@George_in_York_PA]

Waggoner’s covered bridge was rebuilt.

[@katelynncohick4281]

Was the one in Perry Country rebuilt I heard it was not going to be

[@George_in_York_PA]

@@katelynncohick4281 it was

[@hobbyfarmer62]

I just cannot understand the twisted mindset that decides to burn down historic structures there is no reason for such actions.

[@markbrubaker8585]

We're the arsonists caught?

[@jayforkner2692]

Took about 5 years. 2 men were charged as juveniles. They were 14 and 15 when the arson happened.
