Bartonsville Covered Bridge
Bartonsville Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Rockingham, US
The wooden Bartonsville Covered Bridge extends 151 feet across the Williams River, featuring a lattice truss design and green metal roofing.
Built in 1870 by Sanford Granger, the original structure stood until 2011 when Hurricane Irene caused flooding that led to its complete destruction.
The bridge represents Vermont's architectural heritage as one of several covered bridges that connected rural communities throughout the nineteenth century.
Located off Vermont Route 103, the reconstructed bridge opened in 2013 and continues to serve as a crossing point for Lower Bartonsville Road.
The structure survived multiple floods and a truck accident in the 1960s before its eventual collapse, leading to a community-driven rebuilding effort.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
