Bowmansdale Covered Bridge

This bridge sits on the campus of Messiah College in Grantham, just a few miles off of Route 15.

Bowmansdale Covered Bridge was built in 1867 and originally crossed the Yellow Breeches in Bowmansdale. After being bypassed by another bridge and being damaged in an arson fire, the bridge was purchased for the college by the Stoners in 1970.

In some campus publications, the bridge is referred to as Stoner Covered Bridge or Bowmansdale Stoner Covered Bridge.

The bridge was rebuilt using roughly 50% of the original materials and completed in 1972. Unlike many covered bridges, the base of the bridge is not wood, but rather concrete. It leads to the campus athletic fields and is actually large enough for a full-size bus to just barely drive through.
