Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Sachs Covered Bridge, also known as Waterworks Covered Bridge, runs across Marsh Creek. The 100-foot bridge was built in 1854 and served as a strategic spot for both Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War. In 1938, Pennsylvania's Department of Transportation designated this landmark as the State's “most historic bridge.”

Throughout the 1900s, Sachs Covered Bridge was remodeled several times to ensure its stability and longevity. The bridge is one of the few Town truss-style bridges that remain in Pennsylvania.
