Rupert
Bridge is located between the Town of Bloomsburg and Montour Township. Spanning
Fishing Creek, it is on Township Route 449, off 4001, and near Pennsylvania Route 42, in
the village of Rupert. Costing $1,637.00, the Rupert
bridge was built in 1847 by Jesse W. Beard. It was named after the nearby village, which
was settled by Leonard Rupert in 1788. Rupert established a ferry across the river and his
home became a popular stopping off place for travelers. |
