Gottlieb Brown Covered Bridge
Mooresburg County, Pennsylvania
This historic covered bridge in Mooresburg, Potts Grove, Pennsylvania dates to 1881 and remains open to traffic today. Built using the Burr arch truss design—a combination of a wooden arch and multiple kingpost trusses that was popular throughout Pennsylvania—the bridge showcases 19th-century engineering craftsmanship.
The Burr arch construction provides both strength and visual appeal, with the signature curved arch visible inside the covered structure. The bridge serves as a functional reminder of Pennsylvania’s rich covered bridge heritage.
Visiting Tips: The bridge is accessible by vehicle, making it easy to photograph from multiple angles. Visit during autumn for stunning foliage backdrops, or early morning for soft lighting through the portal openings. Watch for oncoming traffic when photographing.
