More than a thousand workers were supported during the early 1800s by these and the industries serving them. The circa 1836 Perrine’s Burr Arch covered bridge stands as testament to the area’s economic importance. The NYS legislature authorized the Ulster County supervisors to raise the funds to build it. Two toll bridges were also privately constructed and are pictured elsewhere in this article. ..."
