Covered Bridges and the Brick Store

When traveling in northern New Hampshire I decided to check out the covered bridges and the Brick Store. Both New Hampshire and Vermont have a number of old covered bridges. Below I have included some photos and information on some of them.

I continued North in New Hampshire to see the Old Man of the Mountain.  I should have read more about it.  When I arrived I found that the Old Man is no longer on the mountain.  The rock formation which formed the old man gave way several years ago.  The park service did hang a metal plate that shows what the rock formation once looked like.

Driving South again I came to Bath, New Hampshire where I stopped at The Brick Store.  The store is located at 21 Lisbon Road.  The Brick Store is the oldest general store in the US. it was built in 1790 and is still going strong. I enjoyed a good cup of coffee and some of the homemade fudge, but they also have a deli that looked good. They have a good selection of regional foods such as smoked meats, cheeses and maple syrup.
