COVERED BRIDGES OF NEW ENGLAND

Worthington Pond Farm & Gardens featured in a Documentary Film on PBS

COVERED BRIDGES OF NEW ENGLAND

During the 19^th and early part of the 20^th centuries, New England was home to almost 1000 covered bridges.  Today, there are less than 200 in the six state region.   Each has a story to tell, both about itself and the place where it stands.   If you appreciate the charm of days gone by, you'll take pleasure in viewing the Worthington Pond Farm covered bridge. A town truss bridge with an arch, it was constructed entirely from lumber harvested from the area and milled on site. The bridge has a clear span of 62 feet. It is the only bridge in North America with dormers to allow light to flow in, and it was assembled entirely with trunnels (wooden pegs).

Owners, Dan and Jane Roulier, are donating 100% of the Documentary Film DVD proceeds to the Somers, Connecticut Emergency Fuel Assistance Program.

Worthington Pond Farm & Gardens is a uniquely picturesque property located on 88 acres of manicured farmland and natural forest in Somers, Connecticut.  It features beautiful gardens, rustic trails, an authentic reproduction covered bridge, a maple sugaring house, a 16 acre beaver pond, an extraordinary G-scale garden railroad and wagon rides.

Worthington is an ideal destination for wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate outings, retreats, charity events and all-occasion parties.
