Pont John Cook Bridge - Covered Bridges on Waymarking.com

The town of Cookshire was founded by Loyalists in 1892. They had followed the Abenakis, who had once set up seasonal camps there.

The town is named after Captain John Cook, its first colonist who, in 1795, acquired hundreds of hectares of land for agricultural purpose.

The John Cook covered bridge was built in 1878. In 1980 The Eaton River was diverted, and a new bridge was built because of the banks erosion.

Today the bridge is part of a trail system, and sees only pedestrian and cyclist traffic.
