South Perkasie Bridge
South Perkasie bridge, the oldest surviving covered bridge in Bucks County, no longer crosses water. It was moved in 1958 from its original site, Pleasant Spring Creek, to Lenape Park in the Borough of Perkasie. The preservation of the bridge was the result of work by a local historical agency.
