08 Pengra Bridge Commemorative Coin

AS A FUNDRAISER to help maintain Lane County's out-of-service covered bridges, the Public Works Department introduced a series of seventeen covered bridge commemorative coins.

Eighth Release - Pengra Bridge. Released July 25, 2009. A total of 425 Pengra Covered Bridge Commemorative Coins were minted, with the first 25 numbered. In July of 2010, Lane County chose to melt down 15 of the remaining unsold, unnumbered pieces.

A few unnumbered coins remain available for $35 each (limit 5) through this website, by credit card over the phone at 1-800-826-8978, or in person at the Lane County Public Works office, 3040 N. Delta Hwy., Eugene. Hours: 8:00am - 5:00pm, M-F, except holidays. Orders that require mailing will be charged $4 per coin for S&H.

Only 2 of 25 Numbered coins (#8, #9) remain available for individual auction. Future auction dates will be announced in this space. When the series is complete in 2013, Lane County Parks will make 3 complete numbered sets (#23, #24, #25) available through auction.

Pengra Covered Bridge, open to traffic, crosses Fall Creek on Place Road. Constructed in 1938 and restored in 1994, the design is a timber through Howe truss. It is named for B.J. Pengra, an early Surveyor General of Oregon. This bridge has the two longest bridge timbers ever cut in Oregon. Measuring 16"x18"x126' the timbers were rough-hewn in the woods and then finished on site. This bridge location is a photographer's delight.
