The six arch stone bridge over Perkiomen Creek was built in 1798 and 1799 to carry the main road between Philadelphia and Reading, and a lottery raised twenty thousand dollars toward the cost. Its longest span reaches 76 feet and the whole crossing runs over 300 feet, with decorative piers and belt courses unusual for a bridge of that age. It was widened in 1928 and is among the oldest stone arch bridges in the country still carrying traffic.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
