Hyde Hall Bridge in Cooperstown, New York

One of the oldest surviving historic covered bridges in the US is located here. Many know Cooperstown as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

But it’s also home to Hyde Hall Covered Bridge, and it’s the oldest documented covered bridge in New York as well.

Constructed in 1825, it’s located at the northern tip of Otsego Lake in Glimmerglass State Park and bears pedestrian traffic across Shadow Brook, according to the New York State Covered Bridge Society.

Fun Fact: It’s one of only three covered bridges in this state that has horizontal siding.
