Kidder Hill Covered Bridge

Continuing down Kidder Hill Road, past the junction of Pleasant Street is the Kidder Hill Covered Bridge, only one of thirteen covered bridges between here and Bellows Falls to survive from 1869 to the present. A lightweight kingpost truss bridge, it was reconstructed in 1994 by adding laminated beams to the interior to increase its load bearing capacity.

The road beyond the bridge which is steep and narrow leads to the trailhead for the Windmill Ridge Reserve trail system. Windmill Hill Pinnacle, one of many trails that bring avid hikers to town every year.
