Perrines Bridge is the second oldest covered bridge in
the State of New York, after the Hyde Hall Bridge in East
Springeld. Once located in the hamlet called Perrines
Bridge between 1850 and 1861. It is located in the modern day town of Esopus-Rosendale, New York just a few
hundred feet to the east of Interstate 87 crossing of the
Wallkill River in Ulster County, New York. Originally
built to aid in the movement of trade between the towns of
Rifton and Rosendale, the bridge is about 90 miles north
of New York city between mile markers 81 and 82 on the
New York State Thruway (Interstate 87). In May 1834
the State of New York authorized and provided money
($700) to Ulster county, NY (which invested $1500), to
build the bridge. In 1835, the bridge was built by Benjamin Wood (b. 1780 d. 1838), the one-lane wooden
covered bridge has been closed to vehicular trac since
1930. The Bridge derives its name from James W. Perrine (b. 1780 d. 1849), a descendant of Daniel Perrin
The Huguenot", who was a tavern keeper that opened an
inn on the east side of that future bridge in 1820. Perrines
son was hired each winter as the snower. He would
spread snow the length of the structure so horse-drawn
sleighs could cross.[2]
