Sachs Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States
The wooden Sachs Covered Bridge extends 100 feet across Marsh Creek, featuring a traditional Town truss design with crisscrossed beams forming a lattice structure.
Built in 1854, the bridge served both Union and Confederate armies during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, becoming a crucial crossing point during military movements.
The Pennsylvania Department of Highways designated this structure as the state's most historic bridge in 1938, leading to its National Register listing in 1980.
Following severe flood damage in 1996, the bridge underwent a $500,000 restoration project, resulting in its successful rededication for pedestrian use in 1997.
Local residents report unexplained phenomena at the bridge, connecting these occurrences to the structure's role during the Civil War and its military past.
