Geocache Description:

Located at the Livingston Manor Covered Bridge.

This bridge was originally known as Motts Flats Bridge, more recently called the Vantran Bridge. It is the oldest of four remaining Catskill type patented town-lattice covered bridges in Sullivan County built by John Davidson in 1860.

The bridge was closed for more than four decades. Restoration began in 1984 by the Department of Public Works using original construction techniques, methods and materials. All major componets were reworked including the truss chords, floor, roof and wooden pins (tree nails). Technical assistance was provided by covered bridge consultant Milton S. Graton of New Hampshire. The 103 foot span bridge was reopened in November of 1985 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house adjacent to the bridge was the homestead of Dr. John Mott, philantropist, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the YMCA.

There is no need to stand in traffic for this one, and it may not be accessible in high water.
