Eventually, as I personally learn more about covered bridges, I will be posting some items on trusses for covered bridges and other technical items. However, for now, I'm going to start some threads on the covered bridges which I've visited and some photos. I'll have some normal info with them (location etc.), but will hopefully expand once I learned more.
There is a fantastic book called "Covered Bridges of New York State," which covers the remaining bridges in the state. Though parts seem a little outdated, it is a good research guide to start your quest if you are in search of covered bridges! (the book is available on Amazon through the NYFalls website, so if you are going to buy it, do it through this website and help out!)

I know that most of the famous covered bridges are in the northeast: Vermont, New York, Indiana too I think. But also I heard that Oregon has a high concentration of covered bridges. Why is that? Did most of Oregon's early settlers come from covered bridge areas like eastern NY and Vermont?

Not too sure here. I'll have to put this on my list of things to find out when researching.cbobcat49 wrote:I know that most of the famous covered bridges are in the northeast: Vermont, New York, Indiana too I think.

Wasn't there a sappy movie - Bridges of Madison County out in the midwest somewhere?
I know there's a bridge down in Newfield south of Ithaca.

I hit that one up a few weeks ago. I'll have some things up on that soon. I'm slowly getting the other covered bridges I've visited so I can do a thread like the Fitch's Bridge one.olmstead wrote: I know there's a bridge down in Newfield south of Ithaca.

I haven't forgotten about the covered bridges and plan on putting up a couple of new threads in the coming days. I have a couple new bridges to add.

New Hope has a covered bridge. Actually used as a driveway for the owners of the Mill. I'm sure it counts, though...
