Our Second Annual CBW in Vermont is coming this August 1-8, 2026
On May 10, 2026, Governor Phil Scott signed a proclamation in which he declared the first week in August of 2026 to be Covered Bridge Week in Vermont. The VCBS is happy to present this list of community events throughout the state for the enjoyment of Vermont residents and visitors alike.
Two 3-hour tours in the comfort of a Sprinter van with VCBS President Beth Brown-Limmer. The morning tour leaves at 9:30 AM, and the afternoon tour leaves at 1:00 PM.
Seating is limited to 13 people per tour. Tickets are $45 per person and are available by contacting Beth (melby5584@aol.com).
The tour begins and ends at:
MyPlace Hotel Route 66 Randolph Center, VT
Party boats, motorboats, kayaks, and canoes will depart from Rogers Ranger Bridge in Lancaster, NH.
The route travels down the Connecticut River for approximately 2 miles to Mt. Orne Covered Bridge.
Paddle boats will leave before motorboats so that all boats will be viewable as a group as they approach Mt. Orne.
Viewing will be on the NH side in a field adjacent to Mt. Orne.
The theme is “Everything Red, White & Blue”, and prizes will be given for best decorations in the Party Boat, Motor Boat, Kayak, and Canoe/Etc. categories.
