Taftsville Covered Bridge is a rare example of early vernacular wooden truss covered bridges in the US. Constructed entirely of local wood and stone in 1836 at a cost of $1800. It's the oldest covered bridge in Windsor County and the third oldest in the state. At approx 189 ft in length at the floor, and 200 ft at the roof it is the second longest covered bridge in Vermont. On August 28,2011 Tropical Storm Irene devastated the south abutment, closing the bridge for 2 years while extensive repairs and restoration efforts were made.
