History
The property is the site of the former Bedell Covered Bridge, which was the second-longest covered bridge in the United States,[lower-alpha 1] until its destruction by wind in 1979. The bridge's stone piers still remain in the river. The bridge formerly connected Haverhill to Newbury, Vermont.
