One of the many interesting sights you will come across while driving the highways and bi-ways of Uxbridge Ontario. This particular bridge is located in Leaskdale where LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY lived for over 15 years while writing eleven of her twenty-two novels, including "Anne of the Island" (1915) and "Anne's House of Dreams".

I love covered bridges - I enjoy seeing them on my visits to Lancaster PA.
Hi Kathy..interesting photo, thanks for the wee bit of local history :O))
Love covered bridges and the days of past they represent.
Hi Kathy,
I love these old wooden bridges. Would love to know more about this. When it was built and the history behind it. Maybe you can suggest a link. Many Thanks.
Kathy, I love those beautiful old, stately bridges. It reminds me of The Bridges of Madison County!
That's so cool, Kathy. You don't see many covered bridges anymore.
Kathy, I just love covered bridges. what a great picture!
I love the photo of the bridge! beautiful!
Debi
Like the Bridges of Madison County - lovely -
Kathy, great photo, I love these covered bridges!
Kathy - Does Leaskdale get many Japanese and other tourists who are looking for anything related to Anne of Green Gables and Lucy Maud Montgomery? Prince Edward Island gets a large number of tourists who visit various Anne sites.
It's worth the drive to Leaskdale to visit a covered bridge.
Kathy...I love covered bridges....I have started taking pics of them every time I see them!
The covered bridges are wonderful reminders of days gone by. Very pretty picture.
Thanks all for your comments and interest
For those who expressed and interest in more information ...
It is a reproduction that is large enough to allow a golf cart to cross ...
It is located on private property but can be seen from the road in Leaskdale ...
Kathy,
Very pretty bridge....did they used to take horse and buggies across it?
Jo
Jo - no it is more in the snowmobile and golf cart vintage
Kathy,
Covered bridges are so neat to photograph.
Rich
What a cute little covered bridge! I've seem many in New Brunswick, but never such short ones.
Kathy,
You really take the entire concept of hyper-local content to the next level.
Good for you.

Lovely photo Kathy. It takes me back in time. I Loved the Anne of Green Gables series.
Richard - even the "new" ones are interesting
Georgina - it is a small stream
Brian -it's is amazing what is there to be seen if only we slowed down long enough to smell the roses
Leah - Uxbridge has a lot of ties to the series ... The outdoor set for the TV series was in Uxbridge ... they created a little "village" on a farm just south of town
Kathy, thanks for the summer view ;).
Janice - I love winter but summer has so much more colour to offer
Kathy,
How charming. A great focal point for this area and a great addition to the countryside. Quite nice. :)

Steve - The Leaskdale "manse" home of Lucy Maud Montgomery along with the historic St. Paul's Presbyterian Church where her husband was the minister is a great tourist attraction especially with all the events the The Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario put on each year.
