Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge
Encyclopedia
The Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge
that crosses Cox Brook in Northfield, Vermont
on Cox Brook Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1974.
The bridge is of Queen post truss design. Note that in some reference books on the topic of Vermont covered bridges, it is stated that this locality is the only place you can see one covered bridge from another one (the Northfield Falls Covered Bridge
) in the state. However this is not true as there are two covered bridges located in succession in North Hartland, Vermont.
