Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I always enjoying wandering through an old, covered bridge and this one didn't disappoint. It was a little cold that day but we still took our time and walked all around.

It was such a beautiful fall day when we visited the bridge. It is easy to imagine the history that played out here. Both armies used this bridge. It was a lovely place to meditate and to imagine.

Beautiful bridge. It's too bad people have to deface the timbers and walls with their names. Throwing litter and leaving it should be a capital offense.

Wonderful quick ride to an original covered bridge that was rebuilt following the Battle of Gettysburgh.

Small covered bridge going across a creek. Not worth going out of your way for. Group of kids playing on it when we stopped.

We visited during the day but after talking to a shop owner in town about the bridge being haunted we wanted to back at night. Go in pairs for safety.

This bridge isn’t all that far from the battlefield. Impeccably maintained and a beautiful photo stop.

This bridge is nice to visit. There may be a few folks walking around or fishing, but usually not many folks there. If the water is calm and it is a sunny day - it'll make for a great photo.

Beautiful by day, creepy at night. Both times we visited we were the only people there. At night it felt like you were being watched & I felt like we needed to go. Cool experience.

Actually Sachs bridge is outside the town proper. It took us a bit of looking till we found it but was worth the drive. Got some great early a.m. pics. Good luck and hope you enjoy your trip.
