National Historic Landmark - Old Blenheim Bridge
National Historic Landmark - Old Blenheim Bridge
Appearing as if it belonged in a Currier and Ives print, this is one of the longest single-span wooden covered bridges in the world, stretching 210 feet across Schoharie Creek.
The bridge was constructed in 1855 by Vermonter Nicholas Montgomery Powers, who received $6,000 for his work.
The bridge was in use until 1932.
