Speakman No. 1 Covered Bridge
A 75-foot Burr truss covered bridge from 1881, on the National Register since 1980 and carrying cars over Buck Run again since a faithful 2016 PennDOT rebuild (an overloaded steel truck wrecked the original span in 2011). Its identical twin, the Mary Ann Pyle Bridge, stands a quarter-mile away.
