Many covered bridges have been replaced with modern structures, and most of those which remain have also changed as the landscape around them has become more suburban. New England Covered Bridges Through Time shows the changes to these beloved symbols of Americana since they became major tourist attractions early in the twentieth century. A few remnants remain the same, and still evoke old New England. This book shows how there historical bridges have fared in the modern world.
