No Soup For Me Bobriwka, Colebrook Bobriwka is private and likes it that way. My efforts to visit for the good of this site were brusquely rebuffed. I respect that. Still, I think this place is still so interesting that I feel compelled to create a page about it. All three pictures below are from their … [Read more...]
Peckham Park Covered Bridge
Low in the Pecking Order Peckham Park Covered Bridge, Middlefield December 2023 Crickets. No, I didn't see any crickets when I visited this small covered bridge. Nor did I hear any. By "crickets" I mean... I've got nothin'. Just a few pictures of a 30-foot, relatively unattractive covered bridge right up … [Read more...]
Wadsworth Falls Covered Bridge
A Wads Worth of Poo Wadsworth Falls Covered Bridge, Middletown November 2023 You don't visit Wadsworth Falls State Park for the covered bridge. You visit it for the falls. Or the pond. Or the trails.

Hank Woronick Bridge
Hankerin' For Another Covered Bridge Hank Woronick Bridge, Wallingford October 2023 Covering Connecticut's Covered Bridges is one of those decisions I made many years ago that I sometimes sort of regret. Like, why? We have "the big four" that get featured in travel and tourism brochures and that should have been … [Read more...]
Churchill Bridge

A Totally Worthington Bridge Worthington Pond Farm Covered Bridge, Somers December 2016 A few years before I first visited this rather large and pretty covered bridge, Worthington Farm was... a turkey farm. But at some point in the 21st century, real estate guy Dan Roulier bought and developed the property into a … [Read more...]
The Village at East Farms Covered Bridge
The Village People The Village at East Farms Covered Bridge, Waterbury Every time I dash off another page about another covered bridge that no one would consider worthy of creating a new CTMQ page for, I question myself. Intensely. There's no historical value to this bridge. It was built in 2000. It does cross a … [Read more...]
Harrington’s Kissing Bridge
Turning Red (Potato Pizza) Harrington's Kissing Bridge, Willington If you're reading this wondering why you're reading this, I'll tell you why you're reading this: because here at CTMQ we are thorough. When we say we're going to seek out and write about every covered bridge in Connecticut, we mean every covered … [Read more...]
Stratton Brook Covered Bridge
Strappin' Stratton Brook State Park, Simsbury There are more than a few pages featuring random covered bridges on this site. I know there's just nothing really to say about most of them, but I keep doing it. Everytime I think that keeping up with this particular list for the site is dumb, I quickly jot off a page … [Read more...]
