Eagleville Covered Bridge: Is there any structure that’s a more iconic symbol of New England, and the northeast, than a covered bridge? Recently our oldest son purchased a house along the Battenkill, a few minutes from the New York/Vermont border. Like his father, Rob is a flyfisher, now feverishly working to make his newly acquired house the home of his dreams. The Battenkill--- a noted trout stream, home to the likes of Lee Wulff, John Atherton, Lew Oatman, and many others--- borders his property.
Also within easy walking distance of his place is the Eagleville Covered Bridge, which crosses the Battenkill in Eagleville, NY Washington County. This covered bridge was originally built in 1858 by Ephraim W. Clapp and is included in the National Register of Historic Places. I painted two watercolors as house warming gifts for Rob as it gives me great pleasure painting for someone I love.
The top watercolor appeared in the November 2022 issue of the Gazette, newsletter of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild.
