The Covered Bridges of Vermont
Vermont is known to have the most covered bridges per square mile than any
other location in the world. (It is second in total number of bridges to
Pennsylvania) You can plan your search for covered bridges by the counties of
Vermont. There are 12 counties in the state, all of which have a few notable
bridges.
Addison County
Addison County has many bridges in its vicinity, throughout its towns of
Cornwall, Ferrisburgh, Middlebury and Shoreham. The most popular bridges in
the location include the Station Bridge, the privately owned Spade Farm Bridge,
the Paper Mill Bridge, the Halpin Bridge and the Rutland Railroad, one of two
railroad bridges still standing.
Bennington County
In Bennington County, there are a few bridges scattered throughout the towns of
Bennington, Sunderland and Arlington. Some notable bridges include the Silk
Bridge or Locust Grove, the Henry Bridge and the Chiselville Bridge. The West
Arlington Bridge is also known as the Bridge at the Green.
Caldedonia County
Caldedonia County’s six major bridges are scattered in two towns: Danville and
London. Most bridges in this county were built in the latter part of the 1800s,
including the Greenbanks Hollow, the Schoolhouse Bridge, the Miller's Run
Bridge, the Whitcomb Bridge and the Sanborn, or Center Bridge. The mystery
among this bunch continues to be the Randall or Burrington Bridge, which has
no official construction date recorded.
Chittenden County
Chittenden County has three areas good for bridge watching: Shelburne,
Westford and Charlotte. The best bridges in the area are the Lakeshore Bridge,
the Lower Bridge or Quinlan, the Upper Bridge, the Museum Bridge, and the
Brown's River Bridge. The oldest among these bridges is the Westford, dating
back to 1837.

borders of Vermont and New Hampshire. They are the Lemington, the
Lunenburg and the Windsor, the longest covered bridge in the country,
