This is a
list of covered bridges in New York
State.
First,
there are 29 historic covered
bridges in New York
State
. The New York State Office of Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation identifies 29 that are
historic, and lists the fact that New York has 29 covered bridges
in its publications. However, the standard for authenticity is
higher for the
National Register of
Historic Places, and some of the 29 do not meet it. A source
for many on this list is the
New York Society
of Covered Bridges, which has its own definition of what makes
a bridge historic or not, and lists 24.
One of the
NRHPs, Old Blenheim
Bridge
, has further been declared to be a National Historic Landmark and
also has described by a Historic American
Engineering Record. It may be the longest single-span
covered bridge in the United States or in the world.
