It sits on farmland east of U.S. Route 501 and is closed to public traffic. The bridge is about 58 feet long and 15 feet wide, with horizontal siding, an asbestos shingle covered gable roof and plain triangular portals at each end. It was documented as one of a group of covered bridges in Lancaster County, which the survey considered good examples of 19th-century timber frame construction. The bridge is reported to be in good condition. Its importance rests on its construction method and its surviving form, which show how local farm bridges were built in the mid-nineteenth century. The form also notes that the abutments were considered in determining the boundaries of the resource.","period_of_significance":"1844","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Burr truss","criteria":[],"status_note":"Good condition; closed to public traffic.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.961314-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003528.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993229","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Hill_Farm_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4982869"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/buck-hill-farm-covered-bridge-80003528/"}
