The little stream under the Brownlee Bridge does not have a name listed that I could find but it nice.

Side Trip

The park is just out side Claysville, PA. As you leave the park, take a left on to Beham Ridge Road. Beham Ridge Road ends at E Finley Drive. Take a left on E Finley Drive and go under the 70 freeway until you hit Main Street.

This church is off on the left as you hit Main Street. To the right is several restaurant and other items that you might need or want.

But check out the church on the left…

and the Montgomery Mansion. The outside is fabulous but the inside is even more so. Check them out on Facebook or call/text at (424) 663-7767 for reservations.

Sawhill Covered Bridge

The Sawhill Covered Bridge was build in 1915 and is 57 feet long and 12 feet 6 inches wide. The bridge was built in the Queenpost Truss style.

Below the Buffalo Creek runs. This bridge is special because it was built during WWI. Due to the fact that steel was lacking during this time, the builders returned to a wooden covered bridge.
