Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge

Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Delaware Township, New Jersey over the Wickecheoke Creek near the border between the Hunterdon Plateau and Amwell Valley. As the last covered bridge in the state of New Jersey, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge was first constructed in 1872, but after being damaged in 1960, it was dismantled in order for it to be replaced with a modern bridge. In 1961, due to public outcry, the bridge was rebuilt from the original materials.

Famous quotes containing the words green, sergeant, covered and/or bridge:

    As the shade went up
    And the ambulance came crashing through the dust
    Of the new day, the moon and the sun and the stars,
    And the iceberg slowly sank
    In the volcano and the sea ran far away
    Yellow over the hot sand, green as the green trees.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    A sergeant of the lawe, war and wys,
    That often hadde been at the Parvys,
    Ther was also, ful riche of excellence.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Socialized medicine, some still cry, but it’s long been socialized, with those covered paying for those who are underinsured. American medicine is simply socialized badly, penny wise and pound foolish.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
