Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges: A Keepsake

Vivid colour photographs of covered bridges in 20 Pennsylvania counties document their beauty, diversity, and structural engineering. Once dubbed "kissing bridges" because they offered a discreet place for couples to enjoy a smooch, Pennsylvania's iconic covered bridges have dwindled in number over the decades, but many are now being faithfully restored with funding. Michael Gadomski's vivid colour photographs of 80 bridges in 20 counties offer a tour of these authentic architectural beauties, some of which are over 100 years old and were engineering marvels in their time. Capturing the bridges from different angles and in all seasons, each striking photograph is accompanied by the bridge's name and the county where it is located. Perfect for everyone interested in covered bridges, history, and rural Americana. AUTHOR: Michael P. Gadomski is a third-generation Pennsylvania native.
