Ralston Freeman Covered Bridge

North of Paris crossing Aunt Clara's Fork of King's Creek in Hanover Township County, Pennsylvania

This historic kingpost truss covered bridge spans Aunt Clara’s Fork of King’s Creek in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, just north of Paris. Built in 1915, it represents early 20th-century wooden bridge construction techniques common throughout rural Pennsylvania.

The bridge features a traditional covered kingpost truss design, which uses a central vertical post to support the bridge’s weight—a simple yet effective engineering solution for shorter spans.

Current Status: Unknown—visitors should verify accessibility before planning a trip.

Visiting Tips: The rural setting north of Paris offers pastoral photo opportunities. Early morning light accentuates the weathered wood textures. Check local road conditions and bridge status with Hanover Township before visiting, as rural covered bridges may have weight or access restrictions.
