TOWNSHEND - After five years of fundraising and planning, the restoration of the historic Follett Stone Arch Bridge in West Townshend has begun. To check out the progress visit info@townshendvt.org.
The bridge is one of six dry stone masonry arch bridges located in Townshend. All are on the National Register and were built between 1894 and 1910 by  Civil War veteran James Otis Follett.  Follett served in Company D of the 16th Vermont Volunteers and fought at the Battle of Gettysburg.
