Hyde Hall Bridge
Science & Tech
Hyde Hall Bridge is a wooden covered bridge over Shadow Brook in Glimmerglass State Park, New York, carrying Country Road 31 to Hyde Hall. Built on the estate’s former private property and generally dated to 1825, though one survey suggests 1830, it may be the oldest documented surviving covered bridge in the United States. The single-span, 53-foot bridge was built with a Burr Arch Truss by master carpenter Cyrenus Clark, assisted by Andrew Alden and Lorenzo Bates. Renovated by New York State in 1967, it survives as a rare early example of American bridge building and an important landmark in covered bridge history.
