Bulls Bridge in Kent, CT is one of my favorite places to hike and take photos. I've been going there for over 20 years. Just recently, the old parking lot was blocked off and a new parking lot was put in at the top of the hill just over the bridge. This is the first change that has taken place in over 20 years. The Bull family built an ironworks hereabouts sometime around 1740, but the exact date of the first covered bridge here is unknown. It is possible that the current bridge design was restored and updated for automobile traffic sometime in the mid 19th century. It crosses the Housatonic River. There is a dam and canal system which provides power to the hydro-electric plant.
