Bedford County (Part 1 of 2): Covered Bridges

This year my husband, Toby, and I decide to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary (it’s officially on Oct. 28th but we did this trip on Oct. 10th) by driving out to Bedford County in western Pennsylvania. It is only an hour and a half drive away from where we live so we made it a day trip. We broke the day into two parts, first I wanted to go on their famous driving tour of their historic 100-year-old covered bridges. Then we went to the city of Bedford’s downtown area for the Fall Foliage Festival. Since I took so many pictures from our trip, I’m breaking it down into 2 posts. So, first are the photographs from touring the covered bridges.

Claycomb Covered Bridge

Dr. Kniseley Covered Bridge from the 1880's
Toby and I took turns taking each other's photographs at Kniseley.

Colvin Covered Bridge from 1866

Most of the bridges have signs located nearby like this one.

Turner's Covered Bridge

I loved the fluorescent color of these fall leaves.

Once again, Toby and I took turns taking

pictures of each other at Turner's Bridge.

We stopped and I took photographs of this farm.

They had a horse and ox out in the field past the

barns and it was such a beautiful sight.

Herline Covered Bridge from 1906. It is the longest

covered bridge in the county (there are 14 covered

bridges in their county).
