Historic Sachs Covered Bridge

Wow! Great stop during Gettysburg visit. The trash cans sitting by bridge though ruin the photos. They need moved. Nice lunch stop. Well maintained.

Very cool bridge to go to and there's no vehicle traffic though it which makes it feel safe for kids to explore. There's also a small walking trail next to it!

Came across this historic bridge while visiting Gettysburg and we ended up going back twice. Super cool! Quiet, scenic, historic and even better - supposedly haunted by 3 Confederate soldiers who were hung from the bridge after fleeing the war and trying to blend in with the Union side. The other illuminated building is right across from the bridge - I found it very beautiful and wanted to include. Definitely stop by Sach’s Covered Bridge if you can, and preferably in the evening!

Great covered bridge. Quiet spot off the main road, but easy to find.

This is an extremely beautiful bridge! Very kool place to check out and visit at night! Unfortunately didnt see a ghost but not disappointed at the beautiful picture I got!

Nice quiet place to visit. There is a short trail down to the bottom of the damn and it goes down stream just a little bit. Easy walk and great scenery. Very close to the Gettysburg Battlefield and Eisenhower Farm.

Although I've lived 30 minutes away, this weekend was the first time seeing it in person. The bridge is tucked away close to the Eisenhower home Southwest of Gettysburg. The bridge is picture perfect, with a lady creek underneath, a ramp for wheelchair ls, parking on both sides of the bridge. The bridge has been blocked off from vehicle traffic, making it an ideal place to relax or go fishing.

We didn't see where Barbara Maitland Adam Maitland went off the bridge trying to not hit the dog. They fixed it up can't tell where the accident happened

Awesome place to visit while ghost hunting. Try to go on a weekday to avoid the teenie boppers and the crowds.

This is a beautiful bridge. There definitely are not any ghosts here or anywhere in Gettysburg. But this is a cool place to visit. I went late at night to check it out. There was a family lighting a cigarette on a railing and then freaking out when it inevitably fell over from the cig getting small and gravity doing its job. The view around the bridge is pretty cool. We need more covered bridges.

Its a cute little spot. You can see locals come here for fishing. Or if your in search for an instagram worthy spot this is it. I came here looking for ghosts, but that is probably better at night. This bridge had the Union and Confederate army walk across both directions during the civil war, on their way to Gettysburg. It is considered the most historic bridge in Pennsylvania.

Very pretty bridge. Can't drive over it. Love a covered bridge but I've seen many. Nothing terrible special about this other than it's pretty and has history attached to it. The plaque with info is too worn out to read.

I'm so glad we went about 10 minutes out of our way heading to Gettysburg to seek out this beautiful, historic covered bridge. Nestled in the back of farmland, this rustic, red 100-foot structure is a picturesque scene for any history buff or bridge lover! I "support" both! The crisscross design is gorgeous and the stone supports on either side adds a stunning contrast to the landscape. Stretching over Marsh Creek, and mini "waterfall", this covered bridge has a plaque describing its significance in the Civil War, used by both Union and Confederate soldiers. The sound of the trickling of the water is a treat for the senses. We came to this sight in the late fall, and I'm sure it'll be breathtaking in the spring! We are returning!!

Covered bridges are not just an eastern states thing but we have plenty. I love them and visit any I come across. This particular bridge is known to be the most haunted bridge in America. Well, I can't speak to any ghost sightings, but while there, I saw a group trying to entice a ghost to take a puff on a cigarette. So it's definitely a thing. The bridge itself is in good condition. At one point high water pushed it off it's base and the state put it back in place and increased it's height over the water to keep it safe. Built in 1852 it is one of the few remaining built using a lattice system of support trusses. It is over this bridge that the Confederate army of Virginia began it's retreat after the battle of Gettysburg, so definitely should be on your tour of Gettysburg.

Circa 1854 at 100 feet long. The Sachs Covered Bridge, also known as Sauck's Covered Bridge and Waterworks Covered Bridge, is a 100-foot, Town truss covered bridge over Marsh Creek between Cumberland and Freedom Townships, Adams County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

Off the normal path but worth the effort. Living in California we don't see covered bridges. This one doesn't have vehicle traffic go through it anymore. Very close to Gettysburg so if you are visiting that site this is a good side trip. I saw fish in the river and I got the impression people do fish here. This is a very picturesque place. It was raining during are visit. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be with the sun shining.

We visited the historic Sachs Covered Bridge on a crisp fall night, and when we walked onto it there was nice moonlight. As we were exiting the bridge a storm burst hit us that blew down large tree limbs and much cold rain. Was pretty sudden and unexpected. The Sachs Covered Bridge was built around 1854 at a cost of $1,544. On July 1, 1863, the bridge was crossed by the two brigades of the I Corps of the Union Army heading towards Gettysburg. The III Corps also crossed the bridge heading to the Black Horse Tavern. Four days later, the majority of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia retreated over the bridge after the Union victory in the Battle of Gettysburg. The original stood until June 19, 1996 when a flash flood knocked the bridge from one of its abutments and it incurred substantial damage. It was restored with most of the original and rededicated on July 21, 1997.

I really like covered bridges .. they are interesting, romantic and a piece of history. There is no charge to visit this peaceful and beautiful bridge. You can only be at the bridge after dark when you're with a tour or if you park on "the other side" which is privately owned. This is a popular ghost tour . and on several lists as one of the most haunted places in the country. Pennsylvania is covered with covered bridges but few have this history or haunted reputation. This covered bridge was severely damaged in a flood several years ago. It has been restored. I love covered bridges and this was a great one.

This place is cool and creepy at the same time. This is my second time here and each time is a new experience. My first was in the dark with a group and we had an evp. I am not sure if the place is actually haunted, but overall is great to visit and has a beautiful view.

Loved visiting this historical bridge in Gettysburg. Nice views of the river and certainly worth taking a trip if you are in the area. Check out the stories related to this spot as it adds a lot to your visit.

Absolutely amazing and the historical story is priceless. Nothing like a small town in America.

It's a beautiful location. I went because I'm into spirits and haunted destinations. We went there with our ouija board and picked up a lot of activity so if you're coming here for the paranormal aspect it's great! It's also nice to just come around here and enjoy nature. (:

Great place to visit. Beautiful scenery and great for taking pictures. You can't drive across the bridge but it's definitely worth getting out and walking around. It was gorgeous. It's known to be haunted but we didn't notice anything spooky when we were there. I'm sure a night there is an eerie feeling to the place. Not too far from the battlefield. Definitely worth the stop.

It's interesting to look at, but the informational sign needs some repair (parts are illegible due to scratching) and there isn't one on the other side of the bridge. There is also some graffiti but that is easily overlooked by the beauty of the bridge.
