— a note from the studio

“Jackson sits in a small valley where the Ellis and Wildcat rivers meet, just off Route 16. The covered bridge, locally called the Honeymoon Bridge, carries one lane across the Ellis. A short walk up the road, the white Congregational church anchors the green. Two New England plainspoken landmarks, one frame.

— about Jackson village covered bridge and church

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Jackson is a town of about 800 in Carroll County, New Hampshire, on the eastern slope of the White Mountains where the Ellis River drops out of Pinkham Notch. The village center sits at roughly 750 feet of elevation, reached by a short detour off Route 16 between North Conway and the notch. The covered bridge spanning the Ellis was built in 1876 by Charles Broughton and his son Frank using a Paddleford truss, one of the few of its kind still in service in New Hampshire.

— the season

Jackson sits in one of New England's most reliable foliage corridors, the eastern White Mountains between Mount Washington and the Saco valley. Peak color across Carroll County falls in the first week of October most years, with sugar maple and red maple turning before the beech and birch. The red bridge against new color is the postcard view. In winter the same village runs the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation, one of the oldest cross-country trail networks in the country, founded in 1972 and grooming over 150 kilometers across the valley.

— the visit

The covered bridge is open to one-lane traffic year-round and free to walk across; pull-offs sit on both ends of the span. The Jackson Community Church, the white steepled meetinghouse a short walk away, was built in 1847 and remains an active congregation, open for Sunday services and most weekday afternoons in summer. There is no admission. The Jackson Historical Society in the same village keeps a small archive on the bridge's 1876 Broughton construction and the village's mill history.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Jackson village covered bridge and church — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

It is officially the Jackson Bridge, built in 1876, and locally known as the Honeymoon Bridge. It carries Carter Notch Road across the Ellis River using a Paddleford truss, one of the few surviving in New Hampshire.

The Jackson Community Church was built in 1847 and is still an active congregation. It anchors the small green a short walk from the covered bridge, near the junction of Route 16A in the village center.

Jackson is a village in Carroll County in the eastern White Mountains, just off Route 16 between North Conway and Pinkham Notch. The town has about 800 residents and sits near 750 feet elevation.

Peak foliage in Jackson usually falls during the first week of October, when sugar and red maples color first. The red bridge and white steeple against turning leaves is the village's most-photographed view.

Yes. The bridge carries one lane of Carter Notch Road across the Ellis River and is open year-round to passenger cars. Pull-offs at both ends let visitors park and walk onto the span.

— about the piece in your home

It has been a meaningful gift for customers who summered in Jackson, skied at Black Mountain, or were married at the Community Church. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio carries the village well.

The red bridge and white steeple sit easily in New England Traditional, Mountain Modern, and Farmhouse rooms. The palette of barn red, snow white, and deep evergreen pairs with oak, wide pine, and slate.

A single Large reads well above a console or a twin bed. Above a full sofa or fireplace mantel a four-tile Mural carries the bridge and steeple at scale; a nine-tile Mural suits long entry walls.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for those rooms. Both are scratch resistant and read well in steam; the color lives in the ceramic surface and does not fade with cleaning.

A soft microfibre cloth and water is all that is needed. Skip abrasive pads, ammonia, and bleach. The thin glossy finish wipes clean and the color underneath is not affected.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is curated and finished in our single Knoxville studio, with no licensing or third-party printing. Reid Wender chooses every place that enters the atlas.
