Spanning the Ottauquechee River, the Tafstville Covered Bridge is one of the oldest standing covered bridges in the United States. Its unique architecture is of an early craftsman style, possibly linked to early designs from Switzerland.
The bridge was built in 1836 by a native to the area named Solomon Emmons III. His timber design held up for over a century until in was damaged by Hurricane Irene in 2011. After repairs took place, the bridge was once again opened in 2013. The Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and is located between Upper River Road and Woodstock Road in Woodstock VT.
