The Ashuelot Covered Bridge

The beautiful Ashuelot Covered Bridge on a snowy day in January in Ashuelot New Hampshire. We have 54 historic covered bridges scattered around the state. They are a great piece of our history preserved and enjoyed in the present! 

The bridge was constructed in 1864 and the total cost to build it was $4,650.

These additional pictures are from a stop about a year later. I have been by the Ashuelot Covered Bridge countless times in the past but never ventured on the other side. This blog is a testament to exploring and taking the road less traveled so I figured why not “cross over!” It was a nice treat and led to additional gems to add to this post.

Here are a couple of new perspectives from the bridge itself showing the raging waters from a recent rainstorm and snowmelt.

Train Depot

An old train depot on the other side was begging for a picture. It is nice to see these historic buildings maintained. The rail-trail runs right through the area. See my post on “Keene’s Rail Trails” for an appreciation of the history and access to such beautiful trails.

I have another short post on the Thompson Covered Bridge in Swanzey.  I’ll add more as I come across them while exploring! Click on this bridge link to view the other New Hampshire-covered bridges I have captured to date.
