In Oct 2016 we drove across several New England states in search of autumn colour, outdoor vistas, and iconic covered bridges. We found plenty of fall foliage, great views, and ten bridges.
Silk Covered Bridge, Vermont
The lattice truss Silk Covered Bridge - built in 1840 - crosses the Walloomsac River near Bennington, Vermont.
Paper Mill Covered Bridge, Vermont
The Paper Mill Covered Bridge also crosses the Walloomsac River near Bennington and was built in 1889 with lattice trusses.
Henry Covered Bridge, Vermont
Creamery Covered Bridge, Vermont
Surprise! We found another lattice truss covered bridge. The Creamery bridge crosses Whetstone Brook near Brattleboro.
The Creamery is Brattleboro’s last surviving 19th century covered bridge built in 1879.
West Dummerston Covered Bridge, Vermont
Built in 1872, West Dummerston Bridge crosses the West River and at 85 m is the longest covered bridge entirely in the state of Vermont.
Albany Covered Bridge, New Hampshire
The Albany Bridge crosses the Swift River north of Kancamagus Highway near Albany, New Hampshire.
The original bridge was destroyed in a windstorm and rebuilt a year later in 1858.
Flume Covered Bridge
The Flume Bridge crosses the Pemigewasset River in the White Mountains near Lincoln.
Sentinel Pine Covered Bridge, New Hampshire
The Sentinel Pine Bridge is a pedestrian bridge crossing the Flume Gorge, built in 1939 in the Stringer style.
Sunday River Covered Bridge, Maine
The Sunday River Bridge was built in 1872 and is one of the few 19th century bridges remaining in Maine.
