The Hectorville Covered Bridge was one of four bridges built in 1883 by Savanard and Sheldon Jewett in Montgomery Village. Lumbermen and farmers, the Jewett brothers were prolific builders of the Town lattice truss, one of the most significant American truss types. Patented in 1820 by architect Ithiel Town, this truss system used a rectangular timber frame connected by sawn planks in a lattice pattern held by trunnels. The 54-foot bridge was moved to Hectorville about 1899 to span the south branch of the Trout River, allowing access to a schoolhouse, store, and butter tub factory. Dismantled and placed in storage in 2002, it is also recalled by the abutments that remain south of the concrete bridge as a reminder of historic Hectorville.
