Historic Blacksmith Covered Bridge is a nice covered bridge located in Cornish, NH. The bridge was originally built in 1882 by James Tasker. It is a multiple kingpost truss that spans 96 feet. It is NH covered bridge number 21. Although, the bridge is located right by the side of the road it is somewhat hard to find because of all the trees and growth around it. Once you get to the bridge you will notice that there is a rope across the entrance. A sign above reads "Pass at your own risk." The bridge does cross a small gorge and has scenic surroundings. The area around the bridge needs to be spruced up. With some better care around this area, it would be a nice little park. There is small parking lot for bridge off the side of the road. Overall, the bridge is nice but it's surroundings could use some better care.

Oct 24, 2025 · Google ReviewState of New Hampshire Covered Bridge No. 21. The Blacksmith Shop, or Kenyon Bridge as it was more commonly referred to, was built by James F. Tasker in 1882. Located in an area of Cornish once known as Slab City, so named for the belief that the village was constructed from waste wood, or slabs, from the nearby sawmill, the bridge sits at the base of Kenyon Hill.
