Baumgardener's Mill Bridge 38-36-20

Hi Folks
On Friday, September 26, we drove the "Historic Rivertowns and Western Villages" Lancaster County tour.
    Forry's Mill bridge has a weight limit of 5 tons. Next are Siegrist's Mill, Schenck's Mill and Kaufman's Distillery. the last bridge on this tour is in a small park in the town of Manheim.
    We ate a picnic lunch before starting on the "Scenic Parks and Preserves" tour. You may have noticed that there is only one picture of some bridges. These bridges had no place to park, so I would let Liz out, drive thru the bridge, turn around and come back to pick her up.
    In the afternoon we started with Neff's Mill bridge, skipping the first three, since we had already seen them. Next is Lime Valley with a Willow tree. Next, I have attached two pictures of the Colemanville bridge, both showing side windows, one with the stream. The last two bridges are Baumgardener's and Kurtz's Mill. Notice the historic stone building thru the Baumgardener bridge.
    I have attached 2 pictures of the Kurtz bridge, a side view and a frontal view. This was the last bridge on the tour. There was one more bridge in Lancaster County, not on any of the driving tours, that we were unable to find. It was the Landis Mill/Little Conestoga, only covered bridge in Lancaster County that we we did not visit.
