Covered Bridges of New Hampshire - Past and Present

With: Kim Varney Chandler

Event Fee: by donation

Event Size: 50 / Family friendly - all ages

New Hampshire was once home to over 300 covered bridges. Today, there are over sixty authentic covered bridges in New Hampshire, forty-six of which are over a century old. These bridges exist solely because of the efforts of a small but powerful community that both recognized their significance and honored their tradition. Join author and photographer Kim Varney Chandler as she shares an overview of covered bridges in the Granite State along with interesting facts she uncovered while researching her 2022 book, Covered Bridges of New Hampshire.

Kim Varney Chandler is a researcher, amateur genealogist, photographer, and author of the book Covered Bridges of New Hampshire. Covered Bridges of New Hampshire was honored with a NH Preservation Alliance Award for education, documentation, and advocacy. It was chosen as Book of the Week from the New Hampshire State Library.
