Blow-Me-Down Bridge

Blow-Me-Down Bridge is located south of New Hampshire Route 12A, one and one-half miles southwest of Plainfield Village on Mill Road in "Squag City" in Cornish. The bridge spans a deep gorge on the Blow-Me-Down Brook. A cross beam set at a height of 7'0" has been installed at each entrance to block high vehicle traffic. The bridge is posted for six tons.

The bridge was build by James Tasker, who is known to have built at least eleven bridges in the area. The structure was repaired by Milton Graton and his son Arnold in 1980. The restoration was made possible with the aid from a federal Historic Preservation Fund matching grant from the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior through the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, the Town of Cornish, the Cornish Historical Society, and private contributions.

The Blow-Me-Down Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of three other nearby covered bridges -- Blacksmith Shop Bridge, Cornish-Windsor Bridge, and Dingleton Hill Bridge.
