West Cornwall Covered Bridge, Cornwall, CT
Nature lovers seem to flock to Housatonic Meadows State Park, Connecticut’s only stretch of the Appalachian Trail, for riverside picnicking, hiking, and camping among 10,000 acres of foliage.
As you drive through the area, keep your eye out for the West Cornwall Covered Bridge.
It’s a red wooden landmark designed by Connecticut native Ithiel Town. It’s also known as Hart Bridge, and you’ll find it situated over the Housatonic River.
The covered bridge is one of the oldest covered bridges in the state, and you can also catch a glimpse of it in the movie Valley of the Dolls.

Thank you. Excellent photography!
Absolutely awesome. I don’t live very far from the covered bridge in Newfield, NY. I have been through often.
A beautiful covered bridge with old mill next to it in Bridgeton, Ind. This is in Parke County Indiana.
Wow so many covered bridges in West Virginia such as Staats Mill in Ripley or the historical Phillipi covered bridge the first land bsttle of the Civil War etc put some of these to shame what a one person view of beautiful covered bridges
You totally left out all of the beautiful covered bridges of Parke County in Indiana. They are the home of the Covered Bridge Festival held every year in October over a 10 day period.
