Lows Bridge is an historic covered bridge located in Guilford, Maine. The bridge was originally built in 1830, rebuilt in 1843, 1857 and 1987. It seems Mother Nature has it in for this bridge as it has twice been wiped out by spring flooding.
Sometimes incorrectly spelled "Lowes", Lows Bridge was named in honor of one of the area's first settlers, Robert Low. Once a major link between Guilford and Sangerville, today the bridge which has been referred to as a " ... bridge to our past", serves as part of the areas snowmobile trails in the winter, ATV trails in summer and as year-round ambassador for our area. As one of only 9 covered bridges left in Maine, Low's Bridge is listed on The National Register of Historic Places, has had several local businesses named after it and has been inspiring passion in artists, daydreamers and visitors of every sort for over 150 years.
