Churchill Bridge

February 6, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

Taking a Gambrel on the Design Churchill Covered Bridge, Newington One of my favorite CTMQ readers once wrote a comment regarding one of these newer, uglier covered bridges, "Even the classics we all love were new once." Indeed. That doesn't mean that these random, rather non-functional covered bridges … [Read more...]

Covered Bridges of Danbury Condos

August 15, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Covered Bridges of Danbury Condos... County Crown Court & Covered Bridge Condo Bridges, Danbury If you can believe it - and I can't - there are two different condominium complexes in Danbury with covered bridges. They are both off of Route 37, both cross Padanaram Brook and are only about half a mile from each … [Read more...]

Worthington Pond Farm Covered Bridge

June 23, 2022 by Steve 1 Comment

A Totally Worthington Bridge Worthington Pond Farm Covered Bridge, Somers December 2016 Shortly before I first visited this rather large and pretty covered bridge, Worthington Farm was... a farm. But at some point in the 21st century, Dan Roulier bought and developed the property into a private park of sorts. I'm … [Read more...]

The Village at East Farms Covered Bridge

June 7, 2021 by Steve 2 Comments

The Village People The Village at East Farms Covered Bridge, Waterbury Every time I dash off another page about another covered bridge that no one would consider worthy of creating a new CTMQ page for, I question myself. Intensely. There's no historical value to this bridge. It was built in 2000. It does cross a … [Read more...]

Harrington’s Kissing Bridge

June 2, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Turning Red (Potato Pizza) Harrington's Kissing Bridge, Willington If you're reading this wondering why you're reading this, I'll tell you why you're reading this: because here at CTMQ we are thorough. When we say we're going to seek out and write about every covered bridge in Connecticut, we mean every covered … [Read more...]

Stratton Brook Covered Bridge

August 31, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Strappin' Stratton Brook State Park, Simsbury There are more than a few pages featuring random covered bridges on this site. I know there's just nothing really to say about most of them, but I keep doing it. Everytime I think that keeping up with this particular list for the site is dumb, I quickly jot off a page … [Read more...]

Take a Gap 12 Years Andover Gap/Memorial Bridge Andover Quick! What's the hottest, hippest, and coolest thing in all of Andover, Connecticut? You guessed it, it's the little covered bridge over Hebron Road, just off of route 6 and next to the town's history museum. Yes, Connecticut has two "really real" … [Read more...]

Another Notch in Our Belts Bolton Notch State Park to Parker Bridge Road, 8.5 Miles Bolton, Coventry, & Andover, May 2020 As Calvin and I rode the first mile or so of this section of the Hop River State Park Trail, I pondered aloud, "This may be one of the coolest stretches of Rails-to-Trails in all of … [Read more...]

Brushmill Waterfall & Covered Bridge

May 29, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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. And since it's not a real waterfall, I want it to … [Read more...]

November 25, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Might as Well Cover the Whole Countryside Countryside Park Covered Bridge, Avon July 2016 Little Countryside Park, tucked away in western Avon next to the larger Huckleberry Hill property, deserves its own separate identity. This occurred to me as I was looking for information on the covered bridge here and … [Read more...]
