2 Best Sights in The Litchfield Hills, Connecticut

Built in 1842, Bulls Bridge is one of a handful of covered bridges in the state still open to traffic; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. If you feel like a hike, there is an easy trail that leads to waterfalls and a small gorge.

A romantic reminder of the past, this single-lane bridge over the Housatonic River is on Route 128, just east of U.S. 7, in West Cornwall. The 172-feet-long and 15-feet-wide lattice truss bridge was built in 1841 and still carries vehicular traffic. The design incorporates strut techniques that were later copied by bridge builders around the country.
