Turning west from road 12 into Cox Brook Road, you will find three covered bridges within half a km. The first one is Station Bridge, also pictured by Galahad. The third one is at a good spot to cool your feet in summer.
A fourth bridge is in Slaughterhouse road, the next side-road to the west when driving south on road no 12.

Helpfulness
Very confusing name for this covered bridge, as the plate on the bridge is labelled "1872 Town Lattice" and a noticeboard nearby shows 6 different covered bridges 4 of which were built in 1872. I hadn't noticed until I looked more closely that in the background the road crosses the railway.
Since posting this tip I have learnt that on the other side of the railway is another covered bridge and that there is a third one after another 400 yards/meters.

I don't know how typical this store was of the old-fashioned American General Store but it lived up to our expectations as to how a 21st century general store would appear. OK, it didn't have the horse outside tied up to the rail !!!

I suspect that Northfield Falls is strung out along Route 12 and so there may be other things of note other than the general store, the covered bridge and the Dog River
We passed through Northfield Falls several times on our way from Montpelier to Norwich University in Northfield. So we could not miss some unusual sights. This may be the oldest house in Northfield......
