Willamantic or "Frog" bridge

This is another upstream view of the bridge before the "Frog" conversion. JLM

Packerville Bridge Upstream side????

 

This picture must be a mistake since the Packerville Bridge is a stone arch bridge. In point of fact, the real Packerville Bridge was constructed as a stone arch bridge from the beginning of it's construction. I will be putting a sketch of the real Packerville Bridge on this blog in the future and you can compare the bridges for yourself. JLM

Stone Bridge

 
Posted by Picasa

In the early part of the reenactment season (2011) we had an event at a park nearby New Britain, CT. Inside the park was a very interesting stone bridge. It is not listed on the Connecticut Stone Bridge listings, but I was very impressed with the structure and made a sketch of it from below the road. As I find out more information about the bridge I will be pleased to add it to this list. JLM
