The builder Richard Spaulding named this bridge after this grandfather A.M. Foster, creator of the Foster Maple Spout and Bucket Cover used for sugaring.
This bridge was originally built for Arthur Pinkman's sheep so they would have a way to cross the street. It's also modeled after the Creamery Covered Bridge in Brattleboro.
Also known as the High Bridge or the Roaring Bridge, make sure you have cash on you if you decide you want to be a little rebellious and run across the bridge.
Many old covered bridges throughout our state are also historic sites in Vermont, like this one built in 1870 and one of the longest covered bridges in the state.
There is an old tale surrounding this bridge about a girl named Emily who committed suicide here after her lover left her. It's rumored that she can still sometimes be seen wandering around the bridge looking for her man on some nights.
Previously called Old Hollow Bridge, it is now owned by Vermont Flannel Company and used for storage. There are still plenty of old memorabilia from Spade Farm hanging around inside.
Ok so this one isn't covered, but it's one you absolutely have to see before you die.

Montpelier, our state capital, is a fascinating and unique city in Vermont. In fact, Montpelier is the smallest U.S. capital city with roughly 8,000 inhabitants. The city is interesting due to its small-town charm, lack of big box stores, and position within the surrounding mountains and wilderness. Another unique town in Vermont is Barre. With granite quarries and odd marble statues, this place is particularly unordinary. The city is also composed of four small unincorporated areas.
