Sawyer's Crossing Bridge

The Sawyer's Crossing Bridge is located one mile north of N.H. Route 32 near the site of an old Indian community on Sawyer's Crossing Road in Swanzey and spans the Ashuelot River near the Carleton Bridge.

This structure is also known by the name of Cresson and was reconstructed in 1859 at a cost of $1,735.94. The event was celebrated with a big dance held right on the bridge. In 1953 the bridge was used by Arthur Godfrey as a tie-in with a Chesterfield cigarette Christmas carton. In response, Governor Hugh Gregg flew to New York to present Mr. Godfrey with an honorary deed to the bridge making him an owner. The bridge was repaired in 1983 at a cost of $61,028.15 of which $16,446.22 was contributed by the town.

The Sawyer's Crossing Bridge is located in Cheshire County and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
