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, and again in 2021. The 2021 reconstruction replaced the 1959 steel grate floor with historically authentic, wide, wood planks once again. It crosses the west or south branch of Buffalo Creek. Named for the Hassenplug family of the early 19th century who lived in the brick homestead located on the north side of the bridge. The Hassenplugs were locally well known for their production of german beer. [2]
