Brownlee Covered Bridge
The Brownlee Covered Bridge is a new addition to the Mc Guffey
Community Park located in Claysville, Pennsylvania. Also, known as
the Scott, Brownlee Bridge, the 41 foot long kingpost bridge
originally spanned Templeton Run near East Finley.
Although, the bridge had been added to the National Register of
Historic Places in 1979 - Structure - #79002361900, and had long
served the public well, it was removed from service, reportedly,
because it was a hindrance to snowplows servicing area roads.
The structure was dismantled and kept in storage with the intent
to reconstruct it at a new site in the future. Recently, an
agreement was made allowing the bridge to be relocated to the Mc
Guffey Community Park, where it could be reconstructed and enjoyed
by local residents and covered bridge enthusiasts.
The bridge was restored in 2008, and is a beautiful addition to
the lovely town park! A piece of transportation history which shall
be admired by future generations, including the many visitors to
the Washington & Greene County Covered Bridge Festival, each
September!
Mc Guffey Park will be one of the many venues for the festival
activities. The 2009 festival will be held Sept. 19-20, and
includes many types of entertainment, demonstrations, food and
fun!
