Gates Farm Covered Bridge

The Gates Farm Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that crosses the Seymour River off State Route 15 in Cambridge, Vermont. Built in 1897, it is last bridge to be built during the historic period of covered bridge construction with the Burr arch design. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Gates Farm Covered Bridge is located a short way east of the main village of Cambridge, on a farm property on the south side of Vermont Route 15. It is oriented east-west across the Seymour River, a tributary of the Lamoille River, which the roadway roughly parallels. The bridge is a single-span Burr arch truss, 82.5 feet (25.1 m) long and 19.5 feet (5.9 m) wide, with a roadway width of 16 feet (4.9 m). It is covered by a gabled metal roof and rests on concrete abutments. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding which stops short of the eaves, leaving an open strip near the top. The siding extends across the portals and a short way to their interior. The deck is made of wooden planking. The bridge was built by George W. Holmes in 1897, and is one of only nine surviving Burr trusses in the state. It was originally known as the "Little Covered Bridge", and was located several hundred feet downstream carrying VT 15, near the longer Cambridge Covered Bridge across the Lamoille River. It was moved to its present location in 1950. The Seymour River originally emptied into the Lamoille River further upstream of where it does currently. In 1950, the Seymour River's course was changed so that it no longer crossed the highway and instead emptied downstream of the Cambridge Bridge, making the Little Bridge unneeded. In diverting the river, the Gates family farm became separated from its fields by the new course of the river. The Little Bridge was moved to the Gates farm property over the new course of the Seymour River to restore access to the farm's fields. At that time it then became known as the Gates Farm Covered Bridge. (Incidentally, the Cambridge Covered Bridge was moved and became the Shelburne Museum Covered Bridge). In 1994, after years of neglect, and with its new location in a flood plain, the bridge suffered deterioration and was removed from its abutments. In 1995 it was restored, in the process, making the interior clearance 18 inches (0.46 m) higher to allow larger farm equipment to pass through.

Gold Brook Covered Bridge

Gold Brook Covered Bridge, also known as Stowe Hollow Bridge or Emily's Bridge, is a small wooden covered bridge in the town of Stowe, Lamoille County, Vermont, carrying Covered Bridge Road over Gold Brook. Built in 1844, it is the only 19th-century covered bridge in the state built using wooden Howe trusses and carrying a public roadway. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Gold Brook Covered Bridge is located in the Stowe Hollow area of southeastern Stowe, carrying Covered Bridge Road across Gold Brook just north of a junction with Gold Brook Road and Stowe Hollow Road. The bridge is a single-span Howe truss, 48.5 feet (14.8 m) long and 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, with a roadway width of 13.5 feet (4.1 m). It is covered by a gabled metal roof and rests on dry-laid stone abutments. The exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding, which extends most of the way to the eaves, leaving a narrow strip open at the top. The siding extends around the portals and a short way to their insides. The bridge decking is wooden planking. The bridge was built about 1844 by John W. Smith, and is the state's only surviving example of a Howe truss in timber on a public roadway. It is also a comparatively early example of the truss type in general; the Howe truss was patented in 1840. It is furthermore the only surviving 19th-century covered bridge in the town of Stowe. In the media Television The Gold Brook Covered Bridge was featured as one of the haunted locations on the Paranormal TV series Most Terrifying Places in America episode titled "Cursed Towns", which aired on the Travel Channel in 2018. It told the legend of Emily, a teenage bride-to-be who was from a poor family. It is said by locals that in the 1850s, she fell in love with a young man from a rich family, but his parents refused the wedding. He told her to wait on the bridge for him at midnight, but when he didn't show up, she was so distraught, that she jumped off the bridge into the brook below and died. Locals report that her ghost is still lingering on the bridge that was nicknamed after her.

Goodrich Memorial Library

The Goodrich Memorial Library is a public library in Newport, Orleans County, Vermont. It is the largest and only one of two full-time libraries in the county. It is located at 202 Main Street in downtown Newport, in a Romanesque building constructed in 1899. History Converse Goodhue Goodrich and his wife, Almira, donated money for the construction of a free library. The land was worth $6000, the building $20,000. Construction was started in 1898. It dedicated on September 1, 1899. Architect William Storey designed the building. The stock used to fund the operations of the library failed during the depression in 1933. This forced the library to enlist public support. It opened with 6500 books. In November 1983, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Administration The library budget for 2008 is $160,550. Newport city contributes $99,000 of this amount. Facilities There are fireplaces fashioned of colored brick, rooms finished in red birch, Georgia pine, cypress, native spruce, Swanton red marble, with furnishings in quartered oak. The upstairs hall consists of an art room, decorated more or less in period style, a long hall for meetings, an office, and a reading room. There are several old paintings on display in the art room, and a display case of postcards and paraphernalia from Newport's history. Perhaps most noteworthy is the floor-to-ceiling wall of glass cases that house a variety of stuffed animals and natural curiosities. These include an alligator shot in Florida in the 1900s, an ostrich egg, and a flying squirrel found in Vermont. As they were originally preserved with mercury, they can only be handled and cared for by trained professionals.

Grist Mill Covered Bridge

The Grist Mill Covered Bridge, also known as the Scott Covered Bridge, the Bryant Covered Bridge, and the Canyon Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge that carries Canyon Road across the Brewster River, off Vermont Route 108 in Cambridge, Vermont. Built in the 19th century, it is one of a small number of surviving Burr arch truss bridges in the state, and is one of three left in Cambridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Grist Mill Covered Bridge is located south of the village of Jeffersonville, on Canyon Road a short way east of its junction with Vermont 108. The bridge is oriented east-west across the Brewster River, and rests on abutments of stone and concrete. It is a single-span Burr arch truss design, with a length of 84.5 feet (25.8 m), a total width of 17.5 feet (5.3 m), and a roadway width of 14 feet (4.3 m) (one lane). It is covered by a metal gabled roof, which projects beyond the truss ends. The trusses consists of vertical posts with diagonal bracing, flanked on each side by a rounded arch made of single timbers bolted together. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. Each of the long side walls has two rectangular window cutouts. The deck is made of wooden planking. The bridge is one of three in the town of Cambridge, and is one of nine documented surviving Burr arch bridges in the state. Originally near a grist mill, its use declined in the 20th century, and by the time of its listing on the National Register in 1974, it was in somewhat deteriorated condition. In 2001, an engineering study determined that rehabilitation of the bridge was necessary to improve the load rating. In May 2004, Blow & Cote Contractors began rehabilitation, and the bridge was re-opened to traffic on October 13, 2004.

Harriman Dam

Harriman Dam is a hydroelectric dam in Windham County, Vermont in the town of Whitingham. The water from the dam flows through a penstock to a power generation plant in the adjacent town of Readsboro. The dam was built in 1923 by the New England Power Company. Some 215 feet (66 m) high and 1,250 feet (380 m) long as its crest, it is one of ten hydroelectric dams impounding the Deerfield River. It was purchased from the TransCanada Corporation in 2017 by Great River Hydro LLC, which currently operates the facility. It is an earthen dam with a relatively unusual concrete "glory hole" (freestanding conical drain) spillway, similar to another example at Monticello Dam in California. Harriman Reservoir has a water surface area of 2,039 acres (825 ha), a maximum depth of 180 feet (55 m), and a gross storage capacity of 117,300 acre-feet (144.7 million cubic metres). The dam and reservoir were named in recognition of utility executive Henry I. Harriman, a former president of the New England Power Company. References
Hartford Library

The Hartford Library is the public library serving the village of Hartford, Vermont. It is located at 1587 Maple Street, in an architecturally distinguished Queen Anne/Colonial Revival building constructed in 1893. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Architecture and history The Hartford Library is located in the village of Hartford, on the north side of Maple Street (Vermont Route 14), a short way west of the White River bridge. It is a domestically scaled 21⁄2 story wood-frame building, with a hip roof and an exterior clad in wooden clapboards on the upper levels and in red brick veneer on the ground floor. The roof faces have low and wide shed-roof dormers, and a pyramidal square tower rises at the southwest corner. A flared series of wooden shingle courses separated the two floors. The front entrance is sheltered by a gabled portico with a round-arched front. The library was built in 1893 to a design by Lyman Whipple, and was the first of the town's five libraries. It is also one of the oldest dedicated library buildings in the state. It is one of the least-altered Late Victorian buildings in Hartford village, and has long been an anchor of community activities. The town's first library association was founded in 1883, and the present building was funded by a group of the town's leading businessmen, including Edward W. Morris, president of the Hartford Woolen Mill, and Ephraim Morris, who gave US$5,000 for its construction (equivalent to $172,768 in 2025).

Harvey's Lake (Vermont)

Harvey Lake, locally known as Harvey's Lake, is a lake in the town of Barnet, Vermont in Caledonia County in the northeast section of Vermont, United States. It was named after one of the original settlers of Barnet, Vermont, Colonel Alexander Harvey. Although locally it is known as "Harvey's Lake", it is officially named "Harvey Lake" by the federal Board on Geographic Names, as genitive apostrophes are rarely allowed in the names of natural features. The lake is in the western part of the town of Barnet, with the village of West Barnet at the northern end of the lake near its outlet. Nearby communities are South Peacham to the northwest and Mosquitoville to the south. The outlet at the northern end of the lake is held back by a dam, owned by the town of Barnet. The northern end of the lake is dominated by Harvey's Lake Park with its public beaches and picnic areas, and by a private campground. Ocean explorer and SCUBA inventor Jacques Cousteau had influential experiences on Harvey's Lake as a young boy in the early 1920s. While attending a summer camp he experimented with staying underwater by breathing through hollow reeds found in the lake shallows. Though he could not yet swim well, this allowed him to stay underwater for extended periods. References External links U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Harvey Lake
Henry House (Bennington, Vermont)

The Henry House, also known as William Henry House, is a historic house at 1338 Murphy Road in Bennington, Vermont. Built in 1769 and extensively reworked in 1798, it is one of Vermont's oldest surviving houses, and an important example of evolutionary architecture in the state during the 18th century. Now a wedding and events venue, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Description and history The Henry House is located outside the village of North Bennington, Vermont, on the south side of the Walloomsac River, just south of the Burt Henry Covered Bridge. It is set on 25 acres (10 ha) of meadow, maple and pine. The main block of the house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with gabled roof and clapboard siding. Extending to the north and rear are ells, one of which appears to be a porch that was enclosed at a relatively early date. A two-story porch extends across the east side, supported by massive square posts. The interior of the main block has nearly intact finishes, including flooring, woodwork, door hinges and other hardware, although some parts were recycled from other old buildings during a 1930s restoration. The house was built in 1769 for Elnathan Hubbell, and was extensively altered for William Henry about 1797. The Henrys were prominent in the settlement and politics of southwestern Vermont for many years, with Henry's son William Henry representing the state in the United States Congress. The house was built just eight years after settlement began in the area, and is one of the state's oldest surviving buildings. The fact that it was altered in the 18th century is also important, as it provides a window into changing construction methods. It was the birthplace of Horace Chapin Henry, an early Seattle businessman. The house is now operated as The Henry House, a wedding and events venue.
