Halls Mills Covered Bridge

The Halls Mills Covered Bridge, one of four covered bridges still standing in Sullivan County, is owned by the Town of Neversink. It carries pedestrian traffic across the Neversink River. The Halls Mills Covered Bridge is the last remaining symbol of a community that was established by early settlers of the Upper Neversink Valley.
 
Built by David Benton, with assistance from John Knight and George Horbeck in 1912, this 119-foot-long, (bridge only) clear span structure incorporates the Town lattice truss design patented on January 28, 1820, and again in 1835 by Ithiel Town of New Haven, Connecticut. The Halls Mills Covered Bridge is very similar in dimensions and design to other bridges in the Catskill region, all of which feature buttresses. The Halls Mills has six such buttresses on each side and is one of five covered bridges in New York State that has a timber approach.
