Posted on April 15, 2008
All meetings start at 1:00pm unless otherwise noted
March 30 - Plymouth Church, 87 Edgell Rd., Farmingham, MA Map
April 27 - Plymouth Church, 87 Edgell Rd., Farmingham, MA Map
The program will be a continuation of the Philippe Bonnet slide show from the March meeting. Come see how our covered bridges looked half a century ago.
June 22 - at the Contoocook Railroad Bridge, Contoocook, NH Map
Bill Caswell will give a presentation of selected images from the Covered Spans of Yesteryear project. The covered bridge is in the village and is easy to find. Some people will probably want to arrive early to eat at the adjacent pizza parlor at 12:00 noon.
July 27 - Wright’s Railroad Bridge, west of Newport, New Hampshire. Map
Bridge wright Tim Andrews will discuss the condition of the bridge, and the problems involved with its possible restoration. From downtown Newport, go west on Routes 11/103 three and a half miles to Kelleyville, then turn left on Chandler Mill Road. Proceed two miles, passing the Pier Railroad Bridge on your right; and when the road crosses the former railroad line, park and walk in to Wright’s Bridge, about 1000 feet. The bridge is no longer visible from the road when the leaves are on the trees. Do not attempt to drive in from the Claremont direction, as this access has been cut off by flood damage.
August 24 at 12:15pm - Annual Picnic, Westminster Fire Station, Grout Ave., Westminster, VT. Eat at noon, meeting at 1:00. Map
September 28 - location TBA
October 26 - possible date for Annual Meeting and Dinner at French King Restaurant, Route 2, Erving, MA.
