Kenyon Bridge, also called the Blacksmith Shop Bridge, is a historic covered bridge in Cornish, New Hampshire, that spans Mill Brook in a wooded rural setting east of Town House Road. Built in 1882 by local bridge builder James Frederick Tasker, it is one of New Hampshire’s few surviving covered bridges from the 19th century. Its older name came from a nearby blacksmith shop owned by John Fellows. The 96-foot bridge rests on dry-laid stone abutments and uses multiple kingpost trusses beneath a sheet-metal roof. Rehabilitated in 1963 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, it is now open to pedestrians only.
