About the Annisquam Bridge
The Annisquam Bridge was built a long time ago, in 1861. Its main job is to cross over a body of water called Lobster Cove. This bridge is known as a "wood pile bridge." This means it was constructed using strong wooden poles, or piles, driven deep into the ground or water to support the bridge structure above.
A Look Back in Time
Because of its age and how it was built, the Annisquam Bridge is considered an important piece of history. On June 23, 1983, it was officially added to the National Register of Historic Places. This list includes buildings, structures, and sites across the United States that are important to American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture. Being on this list helps protect the bridge and reminds us of its past.
