    The Keefer Covered Bridge No. 7 is a historic wooden covered bridge located in Liberty Township near Washingtonville in Montour County, Pennsylvania. It is a Burr truss bridge built in 1853 by William Butler at the cost of $498.00 and rehabilitated in 1983. Crossing the Chillisquaque Creek, the bridge has a square opening; rare for covered bridges in Pennsylvania. The site of the bridge was near Geringer's Mill of which little is known but records list the builder of the mill as George W. Keefer and were possibly named after him.
