Newfield's Covered Bridge was built in 1853 and restored in 1972 and again in 1998. Using the Town Lattice Truss, it is the last survivor of three original covered bridges in Tompkins County. It spans the West Branch of the Cayuga Inlet and is the oldest covered bridge still in daily use in New York State. The bridge was granted historic preservation and lsited on the National Register of Historic Places in May, 2000 by members of the NYS Covered Bridge Society. A Newfield Covered Bridge Society was formed in 1999.
