One of my favorite things about
New Hampshire is her old covered bridges. Blair Bridge spans the Pemigewasset
River east of Rte 3 in Campton, NH. She was built in 1869 with truss
and arch construction and is almost 293 feet long. The first bridge
on this site was built in 1829 and burned down by a man who claimed
that God told him to do it. The town voted to build a new bridge when
a doctor, trying to ford the river on horseback, lost his horse to
the strong current and was unable to make the crossing. |
