Hammond Covered Bridge

Rutland County · West off U.S. Route 7, road to Florence, Pittsford

One of four covered bridges in the town of Pittsford, this 139 Town lattice truss bridge was built in 1842 by Asa Nourse. During the 1927 Flood the bridge floated off its abutments and ended up intact in a field about one and a half miles downstream. After the waters subsided it was towed back upstream and raised upon its old abutments.
