Classic Images of VermontWhen you think classic Vermont, what comes to mind? Is it a combination of green rolling mountains,Holstein cows, maple syrup, and covered bridges? These iconic images may be romantic, but there’s moreto the story than what you might find on a postca d.By Katie MoritzFor example, ask someone from New Jersey and the GreenMountains are just that: green mountains. But ask someone fromNew Hampshire, and they may laugh and call them the “GreenHills” (they’ve been spoiled by the White Mountains, we cannotblame them entirely). But did you know that the rocks found hereare possibly some of the oldest in the world? They were formedaround 400 million years ago, when the Iapetus Ocean closedup (this would later become the Atlantic Ocean) and continentscame together to create the super continent, Pangea.As for Holstein cows, did you that when you drive by a farm andyou see cows grazing, each one contributes over $12,000 to thestate? According to a study funded by the Vermont DairyPromotion Council, the dairy industry brings in 2.2 billion dollarsof economic activity each year. And 63% of new milk comes fromVermont. Did you also know that this industry is responsible forsomewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 jobs? When polled for thestudy, 92% of Vermonters responded that dairy farms added tothe beauty of the state and 97% responded that dairy farmswere important.As for that delicious maple syrup, it’s more than an awesomeway to doctor up some pancakes. It’s estimated that 25% of thetrees in the state are maple, and that the maple sugar industrybrings in around 15 million dollars in sales every year. But didyou also know that in 2010, researchers discovered that you don’tnecessarily need the top of the tree to produce sap? And that sapdoes not need to flow downward? This could mean that rather thantrekking off into the woods to tap mature trees, grown wide withthick branches, sugar makers could technically grow neat compactrows of young trees and still produce syrup. The question thenbecomes: is that really how we want to gather our sap?I’m willing to bet some Vermonters will say no. Because it’s notjust about getting the job done.For example, according to the 2005 Covered Bridge Manual, apublication by the Federal Highway Administration, the only realreason a covered bridge is, well, covered, is to preserve thewooden parts from rot and deterioration. In the book, “SpanningTime,” Timothy Palmer, one of the first American bridge buildersto put roofs on bridges, believed that covering them helped themlast for up to forty years. Hence, covering the bridge preserved itso that people and animals could cross. It got the job done.But is it not without note that the construction of the coveredbridge may have kept animals from being spooked when crossing,for they would think they were entering a barn, and notpassing over furious waters. Or, an even more romantic a notion:that weary travelers could rest for a moment when the weatherturned difficult.Therefore, maybe covered bridges are so iconic because theyremind us that it’s not always about the destination, but thejourney.There are just over 100 authentic covered bridges in thestate of Vermont, giving the state the highest number ofcovered bridges per square mile in the United States.CALEDONIA COUNTYNAME TOWN LOCATIONGreenbanks Hollow Danville Joe’s Brook on Greenbanks Hollow RoadLAMOILLE COUNTYNAME TOWN LOCATIONEmily’s Stowe Gold Brook on Covered Bridge RoadFisher Railroad Wolcott Lamoille River on Railroad lineORANGE COUNTYNAME TOWN LOCATIONMoxley Chelsea First Branch of White River on Moxley RoadKingsbury Randolph Second Branch of White River on Kingsbury RoadGiffordRandolph Second Branch of White River on Hyde RoadBraleyRandolph Second Branch of White River on Braley CoveredBridge RoadUnion Village Thetford Ompompanoosuc River on Academy RoadSayres Thetford Ompompanoosuc River on Tucker Hill RoadHoweTunbridge First Branch of White River on Belnap Brook RoadCilleyTunbridge First Branch of White River on Howe LaneMillTunbridge First Branch of White River on Spring RoadLarkinTunbridge First Branch of White River on Larkin RoadFlintTunbridge First Branch of White River on Bicknell Hill RoadWASHINGTON COUNTYNAME TOWN LOCATIONCoburnE.
