Covered Bridges of Bennington County

Covered Bridges of Bennington County

As some of you know, I have been on vacation visiting the New England states of New York and Massachusetts. Today I decided to take a drive north from Pittsfield, Massachusetts to southwest Vermont. Bennington County is known for its dense concentration of picturesque covered bridges. My driving tour ended up taking me to visit two of the five covered bridges.

The first bridge we visited was 88-foot-long Silk Bridge built circa 1840 to span the Walloomsac River. The builder is believed to be Benjamin Sears. Silk Bridge is open to vehicular traffic.

The next covered bridge, Henry Bridge, was 1.3 miles down the road at the intersection of Murphy Road and River Road.

Henry Bridge was built originally in 1840, but the bridge you'll see is a replica constructed in 1989. The covered bridge is named for landowner Elnathan Henry, whose nearby home, which dates to 1769, is now The Henry House Inn.

Do you know why most covered bridges were painted red? It's because iron ochre was an inexpensive paint pigment.

We ended up picnicking at a nearby park next to the Henry Bridge for lunch.

All and all a fun wrap-up to my week plus long vacation. I'm headed back to Albany tomorrow where I will spend the night and catch an early departure out back to Kansas City just in time for the heatwave. Yuck.

I would SO like to be there with you! I love that part of the country, and I have old family ties there. It looks beautiful there, Myelin! I'm happy you're enjoying it, and not a bit surprised.

Thanks Myelin. I like these kind of bridges. They remind me of Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood (although they were in Madison County ...).

That is one of my favorite movies.

I haven't been to those ones but have been through plenty of others. There are three of them within 10 miles of where I live. Ones an old railroad bridge. The other two I use often.

I hope you had a good time on your vacation.

Thank you for sharing your great photos and interesting info, Myelin!

Many barns were painted red for the same reason. As a kid I was told the red pigment could be derived from rusty nails.

Those are really cool - and what a beautiful part of the country!

As for the heat wave...uggg! We're about to get another one here. I should have specified, when I was whining for summer, that I didn't want temps over 85. haha. xoxo

Good pic - glad you enjoyed. One question. Was this a romantic trip or just a pleasure trip with family / friends?

Both. I met up with a blogger for a special date one evening but the majority of my visit was family related.

I wish I could remember the name of the movie/TV show that had a scene or two with a covered bridge like these.
Great photos.

Many years ago when my sister and I went to Massachusetts to visit family we didn't get to see any covered bridges. That would have been great!
Thanks for sharing part of your trip with us!

I have spent the last several days looking at websites, live cam feeds and anything about the Creede, CO area. Its where we always went on vacation too growing up. Have to go to the beach this Summer but next Summer will be up in Creede again! No cell phone coverage at the cabins where I plan on staying! LMAO! Truly get away from everything! Enjoy the remainder of your vacation sex! Hugs

I briefly considered writing about my encounter with a blogger. However, all I will say is the meeting exceeded my expectations.

Not normally one for kissing and telling, sometimes things are better left to the reader's imagination. Describing our tête-à-tête somehow spoils the aura of mystery.
