Sachs Bridge

Originally built in 1852 and crossed by both armies in the battle of Gettysburg in 1863. In 1996, when Marsh Creek flooded, the bridge washed downstream approximately a hundred yards, but within a year it again spanned the creek, with over 90% of the original truss and lattice intact.

Today only three covered bridges survive in Adams County.
