Stratton Brook Covered Bridge

Strappin' Stratton Brook State Park, Simsbury There are more than a few pages featuring random covered bridges on this site.

Brushmill Waterfall & Covered Bridge

Brushmill Waterfall by The Brushmill by the Waterfall Brushmill Waterfall, Chester I can't be the only person that finds the fact that the restaurant here - The Brushmill by the Waterfall - is weird for naming themselves after what is clearly not a real waterfall.

Southern Star Covered Bridge

The Star of Suffield Southern Star Covered Bridge, Suffield May 2017 Every now and then I write a throwaway post on CTMQ. This is one such post. There is nothing to visit here.

Oak Grove Covered Bridge

Groovin' in the Grove Oak Grove Nature Center Bridge, Manchester January 21, 2017 Our little state continues to surprise me on occasion.
