Bath Covered Bridge

The Bath Covered Bridge spans the Ammonoosuc River at the western edge of Bath Village in New Hampshire, and stands as a rare surviving example of craft-built wooden bridge construction from before patented standard designs swept through 19th-century American engineering. Each bridge of this type was a one-off product of local carpentry tradition, making it a direct contrast to the industrialized uniformity that followed. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it sits quietly at the edge of the village, drawing visitors interested in early American vernacular engineering and the pastoral New England landscape.
