Later research has questioned the traditional 1845 date, arguing the covered bridge was built in 1874 by local builder Ira Mudgett on what was then the main road up the valley, possibly reusing timber from the earlier open bridge on the site. The bridge received an extensive renovation in 1969, when it was raised about two feet, its camber restored, and its siding replaced in keeping with the original finish. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1974.
