      How to use this Book

      For each of the over 50 Historical or Traditional Covered Bridges remaining in New Hampshire, we have included photographs as well as descriptive and statistical data. Traditional Covered Bridges are those that follow the building practices of the Nineteenth Century and the early part of the Twentieth Century or those built later that follow those methods. All of these bridges have had repairs done as portions wear out, and some may have been almost entirely replaced through the years. I have used The National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges, Inc. list of what they consider as Traditional

      Bridges

      Following is data included for each bridge

      Name: This is listed in bold type, and where there are other names, it is the common name or the name listed on an accompanying plaque.

      Other Names: Underneath the Common Name in brackets, you will find other names that the bridge has been known by.

      Nearest Township and County are listed.

      It is frustrating to go on an excursion to see something and not be

      able to find it. This book offers you multiple ways to ensure that doesn't happen.

      GPS Position: This is our recommended method. Enter the coordinates in a good GPS unit and it should take you right there.

      You, of course, must use care that you are not led off road or on a dangerous route. In particular be careful you are not led onto a non-maintained road in the winter.

      Detailed Driving Directions: Directions from a town near to the bridge.

      Builder: If known, the name of the original builder(s) is listed.

      Year Built: As well as the year built, if it has been moved it will shown with the year preceded by the letter M and, if a major repair has been done, the year will be shown preceded by the letter R.

      Truss Type: The type for the particular bridge will be listed. If you are interested in more information on the various types of trusses, access Truss Types from the Table of Contents.

      Dimensions: The length and number of spans.

      Photo Tips: We try to give you some idea of what opportunities you have as well as restrictions, and special items you may want to incorporate into the picture. You may also find some useful ideas from reading Photographing Covered Bridges from the Table of

      Contents.

      Notes: A place where you can find additional items of interest about the bridge.

      World Index Number:

      Covered bridges are assigned a number to keep track of them which consists of three numbers separated by hyphens.

      The first number represents the number of the U.S. State in alphabetical order. Following number 50 for the 50th state are additional numbers for Canadian provinces. Thus the numbers 05 represents California.

      The second set of numbers represents the county of that state, again based on alphabetical order. Humboldt is the 12th county alphabetically in California, and it is designated as 05-12.

      Each bridge in that county is given a number as it was discovered or built. Zane's Ranch was the fifth bridge discovered or built in the County of Humboldt, California and it therefore has the designation

      of 05-12-05. Sometimes you will see the first set of numbers replaced by the abbreviation for the state, thus CA-12-05.

      A bridge is sometimes substantially rebuilt or replaced and it then has the suffix #2 added to it.

      National Register of Historic Places: If the bridge has been registered, the date is given.

      Photographing Covered Bridges

      Some standard positions

      Portal: Taken to show the ends of bridge or bridge opening. This

      view, usually symmetrical, will include various signs posted. This is

      also a good way to get run over, so be careful!

      3/4 view: Shows both the front and sides of the bridge, and is often the most attractive.

      Side view: Taken from a bank or from the river, this gives not only

      a nice view of the bridge but usually allows for some interesting foreground elements.

      Interior view: An image taken
