The Worrall Covered Bridge (also called the Woralls Bridge) is a wooden covered bridge in Rockingham, Vermont, United States. Built in 1868 by Sanford Granger, the bridge is a lattice style with an 87 foot span across the Williams River. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Worrall bridge includes one rare feature — a wooden ramp leading up to the northwest entrance. It is located on Williams Road, a dirt road a short distance north of Vermont Route 103. Nearby, to the west, was the Bartonsville Covered Bridge, also built by Granger.
Famous quotes containing the words covered and/or bridge:
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I was at work that morning. Someone came riding like mad
Over the bridge and up the road—Farmer Rouf’s little lad.
Bareback he rode; he had no hat; he hardly stopped to say,
“Morgan’s men are coming, Frau, they’re galloping on this way.”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
