List of non-authentic covered bridges in Vermont facts for kids

Vermont is a state in the United States that has many covered bridges. It actually has the most covered bridges per square mile! Some of these bridges are old and historic, but others are newer. These newer ones are often called "replica" or "non-authentic" covered bridges.

What does "non-authentic" mean? It means they don't use the old, traditional ways of building bridges, like special wooden frames called "trusses." Instead, they often use simpler "stringer construction," which is like using long beams to support the bridge. This list focuses on these newer, non-authentic bridges. Since many of these are built in people's backyards or on private land, this list might not include every single one.

Finding These Bridges

It's important to know if you can visit these bridges or just see them from a distance.

Public Bridges

Some bridges are truly open to everyone. You might find them in parks, at hotels, or near stores. These are marked as "Public." You can usually get close to these bridges without any problems.

Private Bridges

Other bridges are on private property. These are marked as "Private." Even if visitors are sometimes allowed, it's best to check first. We'll try to let you know if you can at least see the bridge from a public road without going onto private land.

Bridge Locations

We've included GPS coordinates for many bridges. These are like digital addresses that tell you exactly where a bridge is located using latitude and longitude.
