    The 1880 Titcomb, or Stoughton Bridge, built by Henry Tasker, carries a foot trail on a farm over the Schoolhouse Brook in Perkinsville, Windsor County, Vermont. This multiple kingpost truss is 48 feet long.

     

    With the coming of the North Springfield Dam, the Salmond and Stoughton Bridges needed to be removed from the flood control basin. In September 1959, this bridge was moved from the North Branch to a gully by Milton Graton and Sons to the Andrew Titcomb farm, across the highway from the schoolhouse. Titcomb, an architect, did the restoration work. Now often called the Titcomb Bridge.

    On-site Observation: As of June 2022, the Titcomb Covered Bridge is in danger of being swallowed up by the surrounding woods. Clearing out the saplings that are growing next to and around the bridge could easily halt this preventable loss.
