Covered Bridges, Kissing Bridges by Knight_Kadosh
Pennsylvania is often recognized as the birthplace of covered bridge building. Lancaster County has 28 covered bridges, also known as kissing bridges. Pennsylvania has the largest number of covered bridges in the nation and Lancaster County has more than any other county. The longest covered bridge in the world was built in Lancaster County in 1814. It crossed the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville, a distance of over a mile (5,960 feet). Ice and high water destroyed it in 1832.
