The Vermont Covered Bridge Society annual spring meeting will be held at Visions of Vermont Art Gallery, 100 Main St. in Jeffersonville, Vermont, on April 22.
Our speakers; Kyle Obenauer, VTrans Historic Preservation Specialist, and Brennan Gauthier, VTrans Archaeologist, will present an overview of the Scott Bridge rehabilitation, including requirements and challenges of working on the historic structure; a discussion about a recent site visit to the Clarendon home of noted covered bridge builder Nichols Powers; and an introduction to some of Vermont’s earliest travel corridors and their evolution through the turn of the twentieth century, using Burlington as a case study.
The door will be open to the Sugarhouse Gallery next to the main gallery at 9:00 a.m. for set-up and socializing. Snack will be served. The Business meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. The presentations will begin at 10:00.
Lunch will be served at noon next door at the 158 Main Restaurant & Bakery to attendees paying their own way, to be followed by a guided covered bridge tour.
