Sept. 24, 2005, Boonville, N.Y. - The dedication of the Boonville Covered Bridge was a great success. The day was just beautiful and many people attended the ceremony. Here are some clippings from the paper that tell of the dedication. The covered bridge Society's were well represented with many members in attendance.

Here are a few pictures from the Boonville dedication. After I pounded in the last peg, I was presented with the hammer that was made from the wood that went into the bridge. As you can see, It is a very nice bridge.
