Wrightsville is where we found John Wright Store and Restaurant near the sight where the world's longest covered bridge (5,960 feet) once spanned the Susquehanna River connecting to Columbia. The bridge was built in 1814 and destroyed by high water and ice in 1832. The replacement bridge was burned in 1863 during the Gettysburg Campaign of the Civil War. Wright's Ferry was the first means of crossing the river beginning in 1730.
We also discovered a lime kiln, used to burn limestone and turn it into lime.
Naturally, driving through Lancaster County you will see many farms similar to this one.
