Architect Tadoc Taft designed the West Swanzey Covered Bridge in 1832. The bridge was posted for a six-ton limit in 1973, requiring school buses to empty before they could cross. It was closed to all traffic in 1990. It is one of a few surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the state of New Hampshire. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
