Covered Bridges
Between the mid 1800s and early 1900s, covered bridges began to appear over Maine’s mighty rivers allowing travelers in horsedrawn carriages to forge rivers without getting swept downstream. These wooden structures had roofs added to protect them from the elements and had it not been for the “covers” over these bridges, the wood would have rotted and slowly disintegrated. Once there were a hundred and twenty covered bridges in the state of Maine, but fire, flood, ice, progress and the great freshet of 1896 have removed all but nine.
