The covered bridge featured on our home page is the Rowell Bridge #9 located north of Route 127 on Clement Hill Road over the Contoocook River in West Hopkinton. The bridge was built in 1853 by Horace Childs of Henniker with the help of his brothers. The original cost was $300.25. The Burr type construction is unusual in that solid timber arches are fitted end to end and bolted to the side timbers to form the basic design.
