Spade Farm Covered Bridge/Old Hollow Covered Bridge

Discover

Spade Farm Covered Bridge, also known as Old Hollow Covered Bridge, is a historic attraction in Addison County, Vermont. For travelers interested in built heritage, its appeal begins with a clear idea: a covered bridge is both a crossing and a distinctive form of infrastructure.

The roof gives this kind of bridge a recognizable identity, setting it apart from an ordinary open crossing. That simple feature invites a closer look at how practical structures can also become memorable parts of a region’s story. Here, the two names offer another point of interest: “Spade Farm” and “Old Hollow” provide different ways to refer to the same place, so either name may be useful when planning or discussing a visit.

Rather than expecting a large visitor attraction, approach the bridge as a focused stop for appreciating historic engineering and the character of a traditional bridge form. Take time to notice its overall shape and how the covered passage defines the crossing. Looking at it as a piece of infrastructure—not just as a picturesque subject—can make the visit more rewarding, especially for anyone curious about how everyday structures become valued landmarks.

Its setting in Addison County places the bridge within Vermont’s wider heritage landscape, making it a natural point of interest for travelers exploring the area. Keep the visit centered on the bridge itself: its distinctive covered form, its local identity, and the way a familiar structure can hold attention without needing an elaborate itinerary. Spade Farm Covered Bridge is a concise, place-based stop for those drawn to historic structures and the stories carried by their names.
