Summary
| Description |
English: Holmes Creek (a/k/a "Lakeshore") Covered Bridge. At 41', this is supposedly the shortest covered highway bridge still in use in New England; at 112' it is the lowest altitude covered bridge in Vermont. The town's Selectmen specified the width and height to allow passage of "a load of hay, high and wide."
The Holmes family operated what is said to be the largest apple orchard in New England. Offshore in Lake Champlain there are submerged pilings, the only remaining evidence of the pier where boats docked to load the fruit. |
