Winter Mirror

Experience the magic of this quaint N.H. town

Christmas In Stark
Stark is a small town located in The Great North Woods of New Hampshire. The town includes a historic covered bridge and the historic Stark Union Church that was built in 1853 as a non-denominational worship space. I took the photo at twilight in December around sunset as the white-steepled church cast a reflection onto the Ammonoosuc River adjacent to the famous covered bridge.

Tucked along the Ammonoosuc River and named after Gen. John Stark in 1832 (to whom we owe our state motto), Stark is home to one of the state’s most scenic bridges. Stark Covered Bridge, built in 1862, is one of the last remaining Paddleford truss bridges in New Hampshire and is set adjacent to Stark Union Church, a well-preserved example of mid-19th century church architecture and a staple standing all its own. During winter months, this spot is ideal to soak in the beauty of the season.
