Directions: In Rebuck, Pennsylvania, at the jct. of SR 3010 and Crissinger
Road (TR 426). The Rebuck Post Office is at this intersection.

the road past the church (TR 442) and go 0.3 mile to the bridge.
The portals and the sides are covered with wide, barn red vertical boards
with white battens. Only the lower three-fourths of the sides are

road level wing walls. It has a sheet metal roof, and the floor is
decked with crosswise planks set on edge. Also known as the Himmel’s
Church Covered Bridge and the Himmel Covered Bridge.

1979. (Apr 2006) |
