Bridge No. 04619, Spanning Ten Mile River at Village Hill Road, Columbia, Tolland County, CT

description

Summary

Significance: The Village Hill Road Bridge links the towns of Columbia and Lebanon as it crosses over the Ten Mile River. Historically, it provided access to the mills of William Card, which are on the Columbia side of the river; it may also have provided a by-way between the turnpikes to the north and south. By 1869, there was a frame bridge at this site; in 1909, the frame bridge was replaced by a masonry, stone-arch bridge.
Survey number: HAER CT-176
