Product Description
At one time, New York State had over 300 covered bridges, but over the years, floods, fires, and modernization have claimed all but 32 of them. Both the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge and the Old Blenheim Bridge are proud record holders. Located in Glimmerglass State Park, the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge is the oldest existing covered bridge in the United States. The Old Blenheim Bridge was the longest single-span covered bridge in the world until it was washed away by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 when the Schoharie Creek flooded. Today, Oxford, New York, is home to the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Resource Center, which was specifically designed for covered bridge researchers--the first-ever center of its kind.
Customer Reviews
As president of the NYS Covered Bridge Society I am always pleased with new works touting the covered bridge history of New York State. Bob and Trish not only gathered photos from the past and the present but they made the bridges much more. Some enthusiasts like all the facts and figures but then there are those of us who like the history and the stories behind the facts and those tidbits are what makes this presentation of our covered bridges a real pleasure to read. Thanks Bob and Trish for a great job.
