Description
"I thought if I could touch this place or feel it, this brokenness inside me might start healing. Out here it's like I'm someone else, I thought that maybe I could find myself ...won't take nothing but a memory." ~ "The House That Built Me," ~ Allen Shamblin and Tom Douglas, 2010, performed by Miranda Lambert. Wisps of memories seem to dance around the window inside Bogert's Covered Bridge on a September day, such as "Tess & Eric 4Ever" etched to the right of the window. This beautiful, historic bridge has listened to their story and countless others over the course of centuries. Bogert's spans 145 feet over the Little Lehigh Creek in Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Built in 1841, it's history traces back to the mid-1700s when the Bogert family moved into a log cabin next to the future site of the bridge. It is the oldest covered bridge in Lehigh County and among the oldest in the country. It is open only to pedestrian and bicycle traffic, as well as the occasional rider on horseback. Bogert's is a wooden Burr Truss bridge with vertical plank siding and a gable roof. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
