Covered Bridges of New Hampshire
This podcast is a companion to the publication, Covered Bridges of New Hampshire, by Kim Varney Chandler; an engaging book that provides in-depth historical narratives of the state’s historic covered bridges. There are over 60 authentic covered bridges in New Hampshire; 46 of which are over a century old. These bridges exist today solely because of the efforts of a small but powerful community that both recognized their significance and honored their tradition. Join Kim as she interviews folks of this community that she met along her journey. Whether you’re a covered bridge expert, or, know very little about covered bridges, this podcast is for you!
