Description
Gleason Falls, Hillsborough, New Hampshire. Road trip adventures are my favorite. If you've never been to Hillsborough NH's five stone arch bridges, they are worth a visit. The bridges were constructed with great precision, and cut to exact size, as each one had to fit perfectly. There is no mortar holding the stones together, as limestone mortar was not trustworthy at the time. The fact that this bridge and three others nearby support daily traffic and were built 170 years ago is truly a marvelous engineering feat. If you bike or drive to Gleason Falls from town, you will also see Carr Bridge on the way, a beautifully constructed dual arch stone bridge.
