John Cook Bridge
The date of 1835 falsely circulated for several years until it was determined that it was rather the first (uncovered) bridge built in the same place. The course of the Eaton River was modified in the 1970s at the same time the structure was decommissioned. The side paneling extends beyond the end of the truncated beam. There are very few examples of Middle Town type structures, the John Cook and Guthrie Covered Bridges. Development near the bridge. Bridge named in memory of John Cook who settled in the region in 1800. Cover restored and repainted in 2015. The 2 accesses to access the bridge are barred since 2019.
