Built about 1870 by local carpenter Timothy K. Horton, the Kingsley Bridge is the only surviving 19th-century covered bridge in Clarendon. It takes its name from the Kingsley family, who operated a grist mill on the Mill River just upstream, and it crosses the river high above the falls below the mill. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and later became a contributing structure in the Kingsley Grist Mill Historic District.
