All four bridges were built by James Otis Follett, a local self-taught mason, between 1894 and 1910, and represent the single greatest concentration of surviving bridges he built. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] Description and historyJames Otis Follett was a local farmer, who apparently learned the craft of bridge-building from books and his experiences as a road commissioner. Between 1894 and his death in 1911 he is estimated to have built at least forty stone arch bridges, most in Townshend and immediately adjacent communities. This assemblage is particularly noteworthy, as most bridges of the time were being built using iron and steel. Southwest of Townshend's village center, crossing streams on the west side of the West River downstream of Townshend Dam are four of his bridges. The surrounding area once had seven, but three have been demolished or washed away.[2] Fair Brook BridgeLocated just upstream of State Forest/West Hill Road (about {{coord|43|02|51.6|N|72|42|33.9|W|display=inline,title|name=Fair Brook Bridge}}), where it cross Fair Brook about {{convert|0.1|mi|km}} west of the intersection with Dam Road, is the largest of the four bridges. The arch has a span of about {{convert|22|ft|m}} and rests on abutments that are part on a stone abutment and partly on bedrock. One of the abutments is angled, suggesting it was built for an earlier bridge.[2] Rogers Road BridgeThe Rogers Road Bridge is located near {{coord|43|02|51.6|N|72|42|33.9|W|display=inline|name=Rogers Road Bridge}} off the end of a spur of Rogers Road, that extends northwest from the Scott Covered Bridge. Rogers Road was bisected by construction of the Townshend Dam. This bridge crosses a normally dry channel of Fair Brook, and is one of Follett's smaller bridges. It has a span of {{convert|10|ft|m}} and rises about {{convert|3.5|ft|m}} above the stream bed.[2] Buck Hill Road BridgeThis bridge crosses another intermittent stream on a logging road (about {{coord|43|02|46.2|N|72|41|52.8|W|display=inline|name=Buck Hill Road Bridge}}) that is a former alignment of Buck Hill Road, which is now a short spur extending south from the Scott Covered Bridge. It has a span of {{convert|7.5|ft|m}} and a height of {{convert|3|ft|m}}.[2] Negro Brook BridgeThe Negro Brook Bridge, located at about {{coord|43|02|33.5|N|72|41|35.6|W|display=inline|name=Negro Brook Bridge}}, formerly carried State Forest Road across Negro Brook, right near an entrance to Townshend State Forest. This bridge has a span of {{convert|14.5|ft|m}} and a height of {{convert|5|ft|m}}. Like the other bridges, its width is limited to a single modern vehicular travel lane.[2] It is located just upstream of the current State Forest Road bridge. See also
