The bridge pictured here crossed the Susquehanna River between the boroughs of Columbia and Wrightsville in Lancaster and York counties. Completed in 1814 and designed by Theodore Burr, it was a covered wooden structure of roughly a mile in length, among the longest bridges of its kind in the country at the time. It was a major link in the river crossings of the region until June 1863, when Pennsylvania militia set it on fire to keep Confederate troops from advancing into the area during the Gettysburg campaign.
