Dreibelbis Bridge was built in 1869 by the great grandson of John Jacob Dreibelbis, Simon H., a stone mason and carpenter who constructed a number of stone-arch and wooden covered bridges. The bridge was built for an estimated cost of $6,000. Its wood was brought to the site by the Schuylkill River and Lehigh Railroad. Thanks to rail traffic, the area became known as Dreibelbis Station, though little of the railroad remains today. Manassas Dreibelbis was a promoter to construct a bridge at this site. For, to cross the Maiden Creek to reach Virginville or Lenhartsville, wagons had to go upstream a good distance where a ford was located. He and others petitioned the County Commissioners and, after inspection and study authorized its construction. In 1976 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Structures.
