Photo: Steven Bergeron via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0)Also known as the Scott, Bryant, and Canyon bridges, the Grist Mill Bridge takes its main name from the grist mill that once stood nearby on the Brewster River. Built about 1872 by an unknown builder, it is one of only nine documented surviving Burr arch bridges in Vermont and one of three covered bridges left in Cambridge, a town that had thirteen before the flood of 1927. By its 1974 National Register listing it had deteriorated, and after a 2001 engineering study it was rehabilitated by Blow & Cote Contractors and reopened to traffic on October 13, 2004. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1974.
