Covered Bridges by D E Schuppert
East West Paden/Twin Covered Bridges
|
East and West Paden -or The Twin Bridges- The only twin covered bridges in the United States, are located on Huntington Creek in Fishing Creek Township, Columbia County, east of Forks, off 1020, east of Pa. Rte. 487. The Twin Bridges constructed in 1884 by W. C. Pennington for $720.00, are named after John Paden, who operated a nearby sawmill. Twin Bridges County Park was created in 1963 when a new road, 1020, bypassed the structures. The bridges are located in a park and preserved thanks to the planning of the Columbia County Commissioners, organizations and other concerned citizens of Columbia County.(Map location) |
