Quinlan's Covered Bridge
Encyclopedia
Quinlan's Covered Bridge, also called the Lower Covered Bridge, and Sherman Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge
that crosses Lewis Creek in Charlotte, Vermont
on Monkton Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1974.
The bridge is of Burr Arch arch design. The builder is unknown, but most likely the same builder as the Sequin Covered Bridge
upstream. The name "Lower Bridge" was because it is downstream of the Sequin (or "Upper") bridge. This is common in Vermont where multiple bridges crossed the same body of water in the same town. The name "Quinlan" is attributed the family of the same name that held land in the area. The name "Sherman" comes from the owner of a sawmill that was located adjacent to the bridge site.
