By my count Sullivan County has three exact-replica
Nineteenth Century covered bridges. These
spans provided protection from the icy and wet
conditions that confronted wagoners attempting
to tote their wares across the
waterways.
This one posted is located just outside the tiny
hamlet of Lew Beach. The place is known
as the former home of Irving Berlin, the creator of
many popular movie show tunes, including
"White Christmas."
The hamlet doesn't get its name from a nearby beach,
but rather from its founder, Lew
Beach.
