Pittsford is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The town was named for William Pitt. Pittsford was first settled as a frontier town in 1769, about 60 miles from Bennington. It is the location of two historical picket forts used by the militia during the American Revolutionary War: Fort Mott (built in 1777), and Fort Vengeance (built from 1780 to 1781), about a mile north.


About the cache


The cache is located in the historic Hammond covered bridge in the village of Florence. The bridge is one of four covered bridges in the town of Pittsford. The Hammond bridge is a Town Lattice type, 139' in length, and spans the Otter Creek on Kendall Hill Road, west of Route 7. The 1927 Flood left the structure a mile downstream. It was restored to its proper location during the winter of 1927-28.
