The Chiselville Bridge, built in 1870, spans the Roaring Branch on Sunderland Hill Road in Sunderland. Vermont has about 100 covered bridges, and this Bennington County bridge is one that I always remember in particular.
It must be the sign at the entrance: "One Dollar Fine For Driving Faster Than A Walk On This Bridge." I also see the Chiselville Bridge whenever I watch "Baby Boom," the 1987 film with Diane Keaton (I watch this movie more than I care to admit). The bridge was featured in the scene when Diane Keaton's character leaves New York to move to fictional Hadleyville, Vermont with her daughter.

oh so lovely :)
ReplyDeleteNeat. I'll have to make a point of checking this one next time I'm up there! Doesn't look to be that far off of 7a. :-)
ReplyDeleteI adore covered bridges! Next time I'm in Vermont, I will look for that one!
ReplyDelete@Polka - Thanks! It's such a pretty little bridge.
ReplyDelete@Scott - Definitely check it out. It's not far from Route 7A at all.
@Alyson - The bridge is between Manchester and Arlington, and it's easy to find. Hope you're doing well.
I didn't realize that was the bridge used in Baby Boom.
ReplyDelete@Matt - You should watch the movie with Jeanne! I'm sure she would love to see it again :)
