Covered bridges are plentiful in our green state, and many of them have an old and interesting history. That rings true for The West Dummerston Covered Bridge as well. This elegant covered bridge was constructed in 1872, and it still stands, having stood the test of time. It also holds the record for the longest covered bridge in Vermont that is wholly within the state (the longest in Vermont is the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge, which is mostly in New Hampshire but has a small section that is in Windsor, Vermont). Located in southern Vermont, the historic West Dummerston Covered Bridge is one of Vermont’s most coveted old bridges.
Spanning the West River in southern Vermont, the West Dummerston Covered Bridge measure an impressive 271 feet long.
