[1] James Otis Follett was a local farmer, who apparently learned the craft of bridge-building from books and his experiences as a road commissioner.

Between 1894 and his death in 1911 he is estimated to have built at least forty stone arch bridges, most in Townshend and immediately adjacent communities.

This assemblage is particularly noteworthy, as most bridges of the time were being built using iron and steel.

[2] Located just upstream of State Forest/West Hill Road (about 43°02′51.6″N 72°42′33.9″W / 43.047667°N 72.709417°W / 43.047667; -72.709417 (Fair Brook Bridge)), where it cross Fair Brook about 0.1 miles (0.16 km) west of the intersection with Dam Road, is the largest of the four bridges.

Like the other bridges, its width is limited to a single modern vehicular travel lane.
