Covered bridge - Estrie,Quebec - a photo on Flickriver

            There are twenty-one authentic covered bridges remaining in the Eastern Townships. To that total may be added two semi-authentic recreations of recent vintage. A century ago, there were hundreds of covered bridges all across the region. Most villages had at least one; some had several. They dotted the back roads as well, crossing brooks and rivers of all sizes. Very few, however, have survived the ravages of time.

Covered bridges have existed for centuries. The oldest survivors are in Europe, and date to the Middle Ages. Colonists who came to the New World in the 17th and 18th centuries are thought to have brought the technology with them. As a result, covered bridges have been built in virtually every part of the United States, as well as in Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes. Author of the text: Matthew Farfan.
