Griesemer’s Mill Bridge

Oley County, Pennsylvania

Griesemer’s Mill Bridge is a historic covered bridge located in Oley, Pennsylvania, built in 1832. This well-preserved structure features a traditional Burr truss design, combining an arch with multiple kingpost trusses—a hallmark of early 19th-century Pennsylvania bridge engineering.

Originally constructed to serve local mill traffic, the bridge has endured nearly two centuries of use. Today, it remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to drive through and experience its rustic charm firsthand.

Visiting Tips: Early morning offers the best lighting for photography, with soft light filtering through the portal openings. The surrounding Oley Valley countryside provides a picturesque backdrop. Visit during fall foliage for stunning contrast against the weathered wooden structure. Parking is limited; pull safely off the roadway.
