Vermont Covered Bridges – Here’s
Your “See-at-a-Glance” Guide

Vermont Covered Bridges are considered historic landmarks, and remain one of the most popular attractions in the state. There are over 100 covered bridges in Vermont, the second highest number in any state, and in this guide you’ll find listed all the ones you can visit with trespassing!

To people today these Vermont Covered Bridges seem like works of art, but in reality when the bridges were built they were covered for purely functional reasons.

Made of wood, a Vermont bridge would last three times as long if covered – especially when subjected to the harsh New England winters.

The more romantics suggested the bridges were covered in order to provide a place to court your lady and secretly give her a kiss – hence the nickname given to covered bridges of “Kissing Bridges.” But life’s too short to argue over why so many of Vermont’s bridges were covered, so instead I’ll spend my time enjoying the fact that somebody did bother to cover them, and most survived for future generations to enjoy.

I’ve split the listings into the same regions I’ve used throughout my Vermont section. So see where they are, make your choices and plan to visit as many as possible during your Vermont vacation.

Let's get going...

Emily’s Bridge in Stowe is on all the bus tours in the area. Named after a girl who took her own life after being deserted by her lover. Emily makes her presence felt in various ways to visitors. This bridge is especially picturesque in the coating of an early winter storm.

Covered Bridges in New England Books...

Covered Bridges have a charm all to themselves that enhances with age. The New England area is blessed with arguably the finest collection of covered bridges that can be seen anywhere in the world. And Vermont Covered Bridges take top honors.

Each New England Covered Bridge has a history of its own, and located along stunning scenic drives. So when I’m in that mood to discover more about a specific bridge, or follow a scenic route to a few bridges, then I have two handy references I keep close by.

These two are well-creased staples in my New England travel library, and you can pick them up without “breaking the bank” at Amazon.
