Description
I took this image in color last Fall, but decided to make this image an antique black and white. The color image is also available, and is titled Schofield Ford Covered Bridge In Autumn.
Destroyed by arson in 1991. The Schofield Ford Covered Bridge was rebuilt through a community effort of more than 800 volunteers, and reopened September 6, 1997. The bridge, 164 ft long by 15 ft wide, was reconstructed on the old abutments and piers entirely of native Pennsylvania Hemlock and White Oak. This is the only bridge in Pennsylvania that has a queen post truss system supporting a Town Truss System. The queen post is attached everywhere it makes contact with a diagonal of the Town Truss with an oak trunnel (tree nail, or peg). The grey patina of the unpainted weathered wood is also unique for a Bucks County Covered Bridge.
The original 1873 bridge was once privately owned and part of the 2,000 acre Tyler Estate known as “Indian Council Rock”. The Schofield Ford Covered Bridge is within the 1,688 acres which became Tyler State Park in 1974. Closed to traffic, it is still used as part of a bridle path. Schofield Ford is only accessible by foot, bike or horseback. It crosses the Neshaminy Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
This image is available as Greeting Cards, as Art Prints of various types and sizes, and as assorted Home Decor items. It also makes a great gift!
