Champlain Valley VT Covered Bridges
Northwestern Vermont Covered Bridges
|
The Burlington - Middlebury and Champlain Island region is rich in history. Many of the early bridges in this area are gone. In the northern part of this region many beautiful covered bridges may still be found. The towns of Fairfax, Westford, and Enosburg have some great examples. Travel to the picturesque village of Montgomery where you'll find six covered bridges within the town!
