Mill Bridge
The Mill Bridge was built over First Branch of White River, Vermont in1883. Its construction cost was $ 523.
The bridge was built by a self-taught carpenter, Samuel Adams, who built the remaining four bridges down the river. They are now listed in the list of historical monuments.
This bridge in 1999. suffered a sad fate - it was carried off by ice hummocks. For some time the bridge was kept on the surface of the ice and the rescuers decided how it could be saved, but by the time the equipment arrived, the ice had melted and the bridge had to be burned so that its fragments did not demolish the bridges downstream. What we see now is the exact replica of the old bridge. Sheathing is made of pine.
