Sachs Covered Bridge
A red wooden covered bridge built in 1854. Confederate troops crossed it during their retreat, and today it is a footbridge and a popular photo spot.
This town-style truss covered bridge spans Marsh Creek. It was built in 1854, and parts of the Confederate army crossed it during their retreat in July 1863. Legend says ghosts also haunt the bridge. Vehicles have been banned since 1968, and it is now a footbridge surrounded by the creek and fields. It is especially photogenic in autumn, when the leaves turn red. It is about 6 km from the town centre, and there is a small free car park beside the bridge.
