Kenyon Bridge

The Kenyon Bridge, also known as the Blacksmith Shop Bridge, is a historic covered bridge spanning Mill Brook near Town House Road in Cornish, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1882, it is one of New Hampshire's few surviving 19th-century covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Description and history
The Kenyon Bridge is located in a wooded rural setting, a short way east of Town House Road about 0.3 mi south of its junction with Center Road. It spans Mill Brook in a roughly east-west orientation. It is 96 ft long and 14.5 ft wide, with a roadbed 90 ft long and 13 ft wide. The bridge rests on dry-laid stone abutments. The bridge's multiple kingpost trusses are sheltered by a sheet metal roof, with vertical plank siding covering the lower 1/3 of the trusses. Each truss consists of 28 panel sections between 29 posts.

The bridge was built in 1882 by James Frederick Tasker (1826–1903), a local builder well known for his bridges. Its historic name, Blacksmith Shop Bridge, derives from a shop nearby owned by blacksmith John Fellows. It underwent a major rehabilitation in 1963. It is now closed to vehicular traffic, but open to pedestrians.
