Shenk,s Mill Covered Bridge was built in 1855 by Charles Malhorn and Levi Fink. The bridge is a one span bridge, 95 feet 9 inches in length by 14 feet 9 inches in width.
This bridge is unusual in Lancaster County for several reasons: it has horizontal clipboard, has two long horizontal windows on either side of the eastern end of the structure, and the Burr Arch is only about half as long as similar structures in the county.
Shenk,s Mill Covered Bridge is owned by Lancaster County, and is in good condition today.
