Why are there only two rather distant photos of this bridge? It is in one the the tourist attractions in the White Mountains called Clark’s Bears. It’s a small theme park of sorts with the main attraction being trained black bears. There is a short railroad that takes guests on a thirty-minute train ride that includes passing through Clark’s Bridge. I did not pay to enter the park because even it I had; I couldn’t walk over to this bridge.
Clark’s Bridge was originally built in 1904 as a railroad bridge in Barre, Vermont. Railroad bridges have that tall profile on the opening. The railroad closed in 1960 and the Clark brothers brought it piece by piece to their park. It opened for passengers in 1965.
That little structure in front of the bridge has added beauty to the bridge itself. Have a great day, Chris.
Thank you so much Arati. I agree. And it’s so much better than just a pipe sticking out of the ground.
I see your pictures and I want to cross over to NH and Maine to enjoy the fall colours.. BUT, no can do.. Will follow you around =^_^= consider me the second shadow.
My second shadow you are. I know your pain. I was up on the border last week but could not cross. Oh well. Next year, I hope.
I know just where that is! We drove by there a few weeks ago on one of our jaunts.
It’s in a great location. Have you ever gone in?
No, we haven’t. It’s a little too touristy for our taste.
I hear you.
You mentioned the Clark brothers (Ed and Murray). I actually have a picture of their mother on my blog! (Florence Clark and her “Eskimo dog team”)
Oh, thank you for sharing. Clark’s is almost 100 years old.
Buon weekend 🙂
You also….
Wow.. Fabulous ☘️
Thank you, Sohair.
Good thinking by Clark! Just sad that it is a necessary addition…
Trained black bears? I’m not sure what to think about that 🤔
I feel the same way about the bears. It is a thrill to see them in the wild and I’d love to see them more, but not doing tricks.
Hi Chris, this post proves how very different each story is behind each bridge. This one is kind of eccentric, isn’t it? Interesting! Thank you
They all do seem unique. This one intrigues me because of the Clark brothers. I’d like to know more about them. Somehow, the attractrion thrives after almost ninety years in business.
that cute little structure in front of the bridge made it oh, so lovely… i love the last photo Chris.
Thank you, Mich. The little hut is rather cute. Have a great day.
