Electra
Havemeyer
Webb
(1888-1960)
was a
pioneering
collector
of
American
folk
art
who
founded
Shelburne
Museum
in
1947
. In
creating
and
housing
the
museum’s
collections
she
incorporated
18th-
and
19th-century
buildings
from
New
England
and
New
York
. She had
20
historic
structures
relocated
to
museum’s
grounds
,
including
this
two-lane
covered
bridge
,
which
was
built
in
1845
to
cross
the
Lamoille
River
in
Cambridge
,
Vermont
. The
168-foot
bridge
has an
arch
truss
(patented
in
1804
by
Theodore
Burr)
,
which
allowed
the
bridge
to have a
longer
span
. The
bridge
has
two
vehicle
lanes
and a
footpath
. In
1949
the
bridge
was
dismantled
and
moved
to the
Shelburne
Museum
.
