Covered Bridges of New Hampshire is a must have book for covered bridge enthusiasts and historians. The book is an engaging and well-illustrated history of the remaining covered bridges in the Granite State.
It is the most comprehensive history of New Hampshire’s covered bridges in print. “No other book on covered bridges goes into such historical detail,” reports engineer Robert H. Durfee.
Award-winning author Kim Varney Chandler partnered with bridgewrights, timber framers, bridge engineers, historical societies, town offices, libraries, state and national organizations, and community members to compile extensive histories of each bridge. The histories of the historic covered bridges of New Hampshire have been collected with exhaustive research and constant fact-checking. The 288-page, full color, softcover features the author’s own current day photography of all sixty-one covered bridges, paired with historical photos.
