Robert: "Hi, You know I get the distinct feeling that I’m lost."
Francesca: “Are you suppose to be in Iowa?”
Robert: "Yeah"
Francesca: "Well then you’re not that lost."
A big thanks to Pops for driving me to find this one!
Sachs Covered Bridge was built in 1852 by David S. Stoner.
Part of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia began it's
retreat to Virginia by crossing this bridge after the Battle of
Gettysburg in July 1863. Sach's covered bridge extends 100 feet
across Marsh Creek. In 1938, the Pennsylvania Highway Department
determined that Sachs Bridge was the most historic covered bridge
in the state. Sachs Bridge was closed to traffic in 1968 and
listed in the National Register of historic places in 1980.
Floodwaters swept it from its abutments on June 19, 1996.
The County of Adams rehabilitated the Sach's bridge by supporting
its trusses with steel beams and by raising its elevation three feet.
Is the Sach's Bridge Haunted?
Some people think Sachs Bridge is haunted.
Of the many stories, there is the one about 3 Confederate
soldiers who deserted their unit, and were caught. It's
believed that these three men were hung on this bridge
as their punishment. Today, some people claim to feel a cold spot
on Sach's bridge. Others take pictures and get ectoplasm and
orbs in their photos (still going thru the 100 pixs I took - maybe)!
