West Montrose Covered Bridge (Kissing Bridge)

Super cute historic little road trip to see the Kissing Bridge.
Wearing a mask definitely helped as you walked through the bridge to mask the smell of horses.

Seeing a horse and buggy ride through the bridge made it feel like we were in a different century.

If you walk up the road a little but there is another placard that describes the bridge in more detail.

Super safe to drive to different local history spots and learn something about what's in our own backyard!

The only remaining covered bridge in Ontario! Beautiful bridge about 75 paces long, constructed over the Grand River in 1880-1881. Located in the heart of a Mennonite farming community. Hence the quaint well furnished old-fashioned general store nearby and locals driving their horses and buggy rigs.

On a romantic note, it is also known as the "Kissing Bridge". Story has it that "local girls learned to be wary when their escort's horse stopped inside the bridge without any command from the driver".

On the flipside, some scenes of the movie "It" were filmed around the covered bridge. Some fans of the horror movie who were there taking pictures with a red balloon told me so. Enjoy the pictures...

Worth the drive from Brantford makes great photo ops

Great treats at the Lost Acre Store!

Nice place if not too busy..Picnics or just some pleasant conversation. It's simple and interesting, quite romantic!
