Thanks to my buyer of a 8″ x 12″ print of “Woodstock Vermont Covered Bridge Lane” going to Maryville, MO. This fine art photograph by local photographer Edward M. Fielding is available in all sizes and mediums including prints on paper, wood, canvas, metal and more.
The Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock was built in 1969 replacing an iron bridge that had been in use since 1877. The Middle Covered Bridge was constructed following traditional methods. Wooden pegs were used instead of nails, and the bridge was built on dry land and then pulled across the river on scaffolding drawn by oxen walking a capstan. With every turn of the capstan the bridge was pulled 3 1/3 inches closer to its final destination.
On May 11, 1974, the bridge was set afire by arsonists. It took three years, and almost $55,000 to complete the required repairs.
