Geocache Description:

A small container, at a historic place. I have been expecting this bridge to become part of our Geocaching finds, but since it hasn't yet, I will make it one of our hides.

The Maple Street Covered Bridge, also called the Lower Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge that crosses Mill Brook off State Route 104 in Fairfax, Vermont.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
The fifty-seven foot span was built in 1865 using the Town-lattice Truss. The bridge is of Town lattice design, built by Kingsbury and Stone.
Debate is conducted to this day as to whether the bridge is now "backwards". When it was washed off its foundations by the Flood of 1927 it is unknown whether the bridge was put back on in the same direction as it was originally.
Some say the eastern portal now faces west, and vice-versa.
