Description
An area known best to naturalists, snowmobilers and hunters, the Pittsburg area is often called the Final Frontier. Once neither part of the United States or Canada because of a border dispute, southern New Hampshirites think of Pittsburg as Way the heck up there!
Still certified as an E-2 bridge, carrying nominal traffic, the Happy Corner Bridge was built sometime in mid 1800s. One of the oldest bridges in New Hampshire, Happy Corners Bridge crosses Perry Stream, supported by a Paddleford truss.
One of the most lovable stories about Happy Corners village tells of an older gentleman who lived by the bridge in the late 1800s, a proud owner of a Victrola. His penchant for song and dance coaxed neighbors to join in the festivities at this Happy Corner.
