Leaman's Place Covered Bridge spans the Pequea Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1845 and is officially Pequea Bridge #4. It's located on Belmont Road in Leacock/Paradise Township. Back in the 1800's the land surrounding the bridge was inhabited by Pequaw's Indians. Now you'll find the area surrounding it dotted with various farm lands...some of them owned by the Amish. It's a single span, double Burr Arch Truss wooden covered bridge measuring 113 feet long, spanning across the Pequea Creek. Clearance is 10 feet 6". It's open to vehicular traffic but be careful crossing because it's a single lane bridge. On the outside of the bridge you'll find the historical information plaque containing detailed information about the designer and construction of the bridge along with some historical facts. Inside the bridge hanging on the wall you'll find the metal plaque with official county information. You can get out and photograph the covered bridge by pulling over alongside of the road. It's not a heavily trafficed road but you do need to watch for passing vehicles. It's painted in the traditional barn red and white colors. In 1980 it was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
