Built in 1837, without mortar and sustained solely by expert shaping of its arched stones. It is the oldest double-arched stone bridge to survive in New Hampshire. Located near the Uriah Abbott home. It was also called the South Bridge. It is attributed to mason Benjamin F. Simpson (born 1799). Who later built two other bridges in town. (Restored in 1998)
