Seemingly in the middle of
nowhere, McClay’s Mill Twin Bridges crosses the Conodoquinet Creek in Franklin
County. Located not far from Middle Spring and Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, the
bridge was built by Silas Harry, a local stonemason, in 1827. Harry would go on
to reconstruct the Franklin County Courthouse in 1846. The bridge was repaired
by PennDOT in 2010.
The Conodoquinet Creek is a
106-mile tributary to the Susquehanna River. Its name, in the Algonquian language means, “For a long way, nothing but bends.”
