The story

The Cilley Covered Bridge is a historic 19th-century covered bridge, carrying Howe Lane across the First Branch White River a short way south of the village of Tunbridge, Vermont. Built in 1883, it is a fine example of a king-post truss structure, and is one of the town's five 19th-century covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
