The Dreibelbis Station Bridge is a Burr arch-truss covered bridge that spans Maiden Creek. It is 172-foot-long, and one of the longest single-span covered bridges remaining in the country. Constructed in 1869 at the request of Manassas Dreibelbis, owner of a nearby sawmill, the bridge provided a way to cross Maiden Creek safely. An extensive bridge rehabilitation began in 2019, closing the bridge to traffic until the restored bridge reopened in August 2020. Dreibelbis Station Covered Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

Fun Fact: Is Dreibelbis Bridge haunted? In the late 19th century, a man driving his horse-drawn sleigh through snow started to cross the bridge. When the sleigh's runners hit the dry wood, the reins slipped from the driver's fingers, and the rig lurched forward. As the man fell from the sleigh, the loose reins gripped his neck, snapping his head clean from his shoulders. The sleigh, the horse, and the man's body were found, but his head was never recovered. Some believe you can see his spirit wandering the bridge seeking his lost head on snowy nights.
