Both a history and a guide, this book offers scenic tours to all
106 of Vermont's covered bridges and tells the rich stories behind
them. For many people, covered bridges are much more than
picturesque: They represent a living link with an alluring part of
our past. Along with a sense of romance, we associate them with an
era of hard work, creativity, and ingenuity. Each bridge sparks a
new question: Why was it built, how, when, and by whom? How has it
lasted when so many others have disappeared? This guide will answer
these and many other questions about all 106 of Vermont's
authentic, historic covered bridges. Arranged by convenient driving
tours, it provides precise directions to help travelers find each
bridge--touring through the most scenic countryside along the
way--and shares each bridge's history and folklore. Advice on
photographing the bridges, parking, and finding nearby historical
sites and museums is also included in each tour. An introduction
tells the colorful story of "the great truss race" in the early
days of bridge architecture and design. Detailed scenic driving
tours make this book useful to anyone exploring the back roads of
Vermont. Superb maps mark the location of all 106 covered bridges.
60 black-and-white photographs.
