The County Farm Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge in Wilton, New Hampshire. Built in 1885, it carries Old County Farm over Whiting Brook, just south of its northern junction with Burton Highway in a rural section of northwestern Wilton. Old County Farm Road was the main access road to the Hillsborough County Poor Farm, and is now an unmaintained class 6 road. The bridge consists of a single stone arch with a span just under 18 feet (5.5 m). It is lined with cut granite voussoirs which were quarried in Wilton. The arch begins on land 7 feet (2.1 m) above the water, and the arch rises to a height of 15'10" above the typical water level. The arch is embedded in a causeway which is 430 feet (130 m) long.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]
