Schlicher’s Covered Bridge was built in 1882 and is located in Lehigh County, Pa.  The current version is a reconstructed replica of the original which was replaced in 2013 for safety reasons due to extreme deterioration.  This bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and crosses the Jordan Creek.  It is sometimes referred to as the “deer pen bridge” since it is surrounded by the Trexler-Lehigh County Game Preserve and deer are often seen grazing nearby.  My dad and I would often drive around the state in search of covered bridges.  I would photograph them and then he would create an oil painting from the photo.  He would have loved to paint this scene!
