Built in 1850 by Daniel McCain. Bells Mills covered bridge is the only covered bridge remaining in Westmoreland County. The one lane bridge is still being used today.

The area where the bridge is located is also known as Milbell. If you plan on visiting this area, please do not destroy the bridge or any adjacent property. It is a very beautiful and historical place in Westmoreland County.
