Day 36 - Manasses Guth Bridge

Day 36 brings me back to the cover Bridges in the Lehigh Valley.  The 2nd of 7 Cover Bridges is the Manasses Guth Bridge.  The original bridge that was built in 1858 was partially destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1882. Local farmers and travelers forded the Jordan at this site prior to 1858. The builder of the original structure is unknown. The bridge was named after Manasses Guth, who lived in the adjacent stone farmhouse and was a descendant of Lorentz Guth, the first settler in the area in 1745.  The Bridge is still used today.
