One Of The Best Historic Stone Arch Bridges In The Entire Country Is Right Here In New Hampshire
There are plenty of beautiful bridges in New England and we think some of the best are in New Hampshire, as well as some incredible National Historic Sites. While we love a good covered bridge in New Hampshire, there are plenty of other examples that offer a combination of great views and history. This beauty, located in Keene, is a great example!
If you're not looking for it, you might not know that one of the most incredible bridges in the country exists in Cheshire County and it's also a part of the National Park System.
Built in 1847 with the purpose of carrying the Cheshire Railroad, the bridge allowed the railroad to go the additional 42.8. miles from the border of Massachusetts to the Vermont border.
Visit in the fall to experience the best of the state's foliage. The spring and summer brings bright greens and in the winter the entire surroundings become still and white with snow.
We love taking some time on a weekend to visit and we think you will too!
The Cheshire Railroad Stone Arch Bridge can be viewed any time of year. As with any bridge, be careful if you choose to explore it and always make sure you have sure footing. You can learn more about it by checking out the National Park Service. And let us know if there are other members of the National Parks System in New Hampshire that we should check out next!
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
