DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
Dedication Of Twin Covered Bridges
Sunday Within Hour Drive Of Dallas
Twin covered bridges, the only
pair in the United States, will be
the. focus for sightseers Sunday
afternoon at 2:30, when a newly
established recreation area will be
dedicated at Forks, in Columbia
County, a few miles east of Benton.
The bridges, historic examples of
a fast vanishing Early American
scene, have been painstakingly re-
novated, their former sturdiness re-
stored, and new roofs constructed.
Pennsylvania once had over 400
covered ‘bridges. They have mostly
been replaced by steel or concrete
structures as modern traffic proved
too much for the plank-paved
original bridges. Nostalgic calen-
dar publishers immortalize them,
along with the village smithy and
|
in an arc toward the Old Swimming
| Hole.
Preserved for posterity are the
twin covered bridges at Forks,
spanning the shallow stream, and
now flanked by a charming park |
with a view of Huntington Moun-
tain, a perfect recreation spot.
Instrumental in preserving the
historic bridges, along with Colum-
bia County supervisors, is the The-=
odore Burr Covered Bridge Society
of | Pennsylvania, which will be
represented on Sunday by Mrs. Vera
H. Wagner of Harrisburg.
Principal speaker will be Dr. Syl-
vester K. Stevens of Harrisburg,
executive director of Pennsylvania
Historical and Museum Commission.
Harold A. Swenson, director of the
small flashing brown bodies curving | State ‘Tourist Bureau, will be the

The twin bridges are an easy
drive from Dallas. Go out through
Ricketts Glen to the Benton turn-
off from the Williamsport road. Go
straight through Benton and Still-
water on the road to Bloomsburg,
and when you reach Forks, follow
the signs. There

Start around noon to allow plenty
of time for enjoying the new park
before the ceremonies get under
way. It is about an hour's drive,
but there probably will be traffic on
Sunday, heading toward Forks.
Take a picnic lunch, and stake
out a claim on one of the newly in-
stalled picnic tables. The Benton
Argus says there is plenty of park-
ing space.
