 BBC - h2g2 - The Covered Bridges of Perry County, Pennsylvania, USA
The covered bridge is not unique to Pennsylvania, but at their peak there were more than 1500 covered bridges in the Keystone State.
Perry County, which is located in the south-central part of the state and covers 550 square miles just to the north and west of the state capital of Harrisburg, is home to a dozen covered bridges.
While this isn't the highest county total in the state, what makes them unique is the fact that the majority of these bridges cross Sherman's Creek to the west of State Route 74 and are all close enough together that you can see them all in a day's driving if you're so inclined.
