Sachs Covered Bridge, Gettysburg, PA
If you’re visiting the Gettysburg Battlefield, you’ll find the Sachs Covered Bridge not far from it. Union Army soldiers used it during the Civil War to access a field hospital. Also, this is the bridge that the Confederate Army retreated across after the Union won the battle.
In 1938, the bridge was named the state’s “most historical bridge” by the Department of Highways, and in 1980, it was included in the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, visitors can walk across it, taking in both the history and picturesque nature of the area. It is also rumored to be haunted if you believe in such things.
