VCBS Covered Bridge Tour

Welcome to the Vermont Covered Bridge Society Covered Bridge Tour. This project is provided to share some basic information and facts about all of Vermont's covered bridges: historic and non-traditional bridges.

At this time, there are a total of 203 such bridges. 99 of the bridges are considered traditional or historic. The other 104 are categorized as "non-traditional".

Every county, except Grand Isle, has covered bridges waiting to be explored. Google Maps for each bridge is provided as an aid to locating the bridge.

This tour is our way of introducing you, the visitor, to one of Vermont's timeless treasures: the covered bridge.

The Vermont state map below will give an interactive experience with the covered bridges in each of the counties. Select the county of interest, and you will be on your way to learning about the bridge you may be standing in front of. Take your time and enjoy the tour.

We are pleased to feature bridge pictures by a number of different photographers. The contributors include Joseph C. Nelson, Scott Wagner, Steve Brown, William Caswell, Mel Huff, Phillip Jordan, Steve Bergeron, Gloria Smedley, Jennifer Bushey Parker, Barbara Nowik, J. Peter Cosgrove, and Ceegee's Photos. We appreciate their contributions as we work to keep the pictures up to date.

Also included is additional information for the non-traditional bridges courtesy of Dale J. Travis' website Round Barns and Covered Bridges.
