Covered bridges of Canada



Covers from Canada with Bridges postmarks ! 

The first cover is from Hartland, New Brunswick - Canada 🇨🇦 

The Hartland Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick, is the world's longest covered bridge, at 1,282 feet (391 m) long. It crosses the Saint John River from Hartland to Somerville, New Brunswick, Canada. The framework consists of seven small Howe Trussbridges joined together on six piers.

Received this postcrossing meetup card inside the envelope - the postcard shows the cancellation and the bridge on the front side ! 



Another cover from New Brunswick, Norton 

The postmark shows the Moosehorn Creek covered bridge - built in 1915 

New Brunswick has 58 covered historic bridges of Canada. You can find amazing pictures and information regarding these wonderful bridges from https://newbrunswickcoveredbridges.blogspot.com/?m=1

And also an awesome drone view of this beautiful bridge at https://youtu.be/jrvJEqqLwm8

Thanks to the postmaster of Norton who not only postmarked my cover , but also put the cover inside another envelope with the postmark on it too and also a card for me !
