UPCOMING RELATED EVENTS
A Vermont Covered Bridge Society Event
PLAQUE FOR VCBS 25TH ANNIVERSARY TO BE DEDICATED SATURDAY
A plaque recognizing the 25th anniversary of the Vermont Covered Bridge Society (VCBS) will be dedicated at the Cambridge Junction Bridge near Jeffersonville at 5 pm on Saturday, August 9, 2025. This non-profit organization was founded to preserve Vermont's covered bridges and its first project was to rescue the historic Cambridge Junction bridge that was in danger of collapsing into the Lamoille River.
This 140-foot Burr arch structure was originally built by the town of Cambridge in 1887 for $3,520; the repairs cost almost a million dollars. It was reopened to traffic in 2004, thanks largely to Federal funding earmarked for restoration by the late Senator Jim Jeffords.
Two authors of guides to Vermont covered bridges, Ed Barna from Middlebury (recently deceased) and Joe Nelson from Underhill, had been invited to Jeffersonville by Cambridge resident Liam McKone in 2000 and the three of them agreed to create the VCBS. The group has since grown to almost 400 members of enthusiasts who work to educate the public and preserve the remaining iconic covered bridges in Vermont.
The public is welcome to attend the dedication and to visit the VCBS booth that will operate noon to 6 pm at the adjacent picnic area. Membership information will be distributed and covered bridge merchandise sold. Parking at the bridge is limited, so people attending are encouraged to walk or bike on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail.
