Cornish–Windsor Covered Bridge

The wooden Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge stretches across the Connecticut River, connecting the towns of Cornish, New Hampshire with Windsor, Vermont.

Built in 1866 by Bela Jenks Fletcher and James Frederick Tasker, this bridge operated as a toll crossing until 1943 when New Hampshire state acquired it.

The bridge represents nineteenth-century American engineering through its Town lattice truss design, earning recognition from the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Visitors can access the bridge from Cornish Toll Bridge Road near Route 12A, with parking areas available on both the New Hampshire and Vermont sides.

From 1866 to 2008, this 449-foot-long structure held the title of the longest wooden covered bridge in the United States.
