Hassenplug Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge at Mifflinburg, Union County, Pennsylvania. It is an 80-foot-long (24 m), Burr Truss bridge, constructed in 1825, and overhauled in 1959. It crosses Buffalo Creek.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980[1] and is the oldest covered bridge in the United States.[3] However, this distinction is also claimed for the Hyde Hall Bridge in New York.
