The purpose of the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of Pennsylvania, Inc. is to promote interest and active participation in the preservation and restoration of the remaining historical covered bridges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Eight of the meetings are held at the Manheim Township Office Building located north of Lancaster, PA on Municipal Dr. one block west of PA 272 and 6/10 mile north of US 30. Meetings begin at 2 p.m. The remaining three meetings are held at other locations as listed in the Newsletters. Membership includes the Society publications.

A life membership is available for $150.00 individual and $200.00 for a couple at the same address.

Each year the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of Pennsylvania, Inc. plans a Covered Bridge Safari. A covered bridge safari is when a group of covered bridge enthusiasts caravan to covered bridges in a particular county or geographic area. The The 2008 Safari was on May 3rd and 4th. This year we celebrated the covered bridges of Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, and Berks Counties.

Each year the Governor signs a proclamation to encourage all Pennsylvanians to visit covered bridges. "See Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges" Week begins the first Saturday after the first Sunday in May, to and including the third Sunday of May.
