The Oldest Covered Bridge In Vermont Has Been Around Since 1833
When driving through Vermont, you’ll probably come across quite a few covered bridges. Many of these bridges were built in the 1800s and early 1900s and communities have come together to restore them so they can continue to be enjoyed by visitors for years to come. The oldest covered bridge in Vermont is located in the small town of Waitsfield and it is definitely worth the trip if you’re ever in the area.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

The bridge was built to replace a bridge that was lost during a freshet in 1830.

You might think that the bridge is named after someone named Eddy, but actually it gets its nickname from the eddy that was formed by the bedrock under the north abutment.
