The East Petersburg Historical Society was established in 1976 to preserve East Petersburg memorabilia and provide education for community residents. Monthly meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. in the community building on Pine Street, excluding June, July and September. In August the Historical Society hosts a picnic in the pavilion of the community park, and in December it holds its annual Christmas party at the Gathering Place in Mount Joy.
In 1994, the society purchased the building at the corner of State and Lemon Streets and renovated it with money received through fundraisers and private donations. Today, the location houses the Historical Society’s gift shop, open the first Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to noon. There, the society sells building replicas, Dorothy Hollinger prints, crocks, stationary, afghans and other gift items.

The Muddy Run Reservoir is a 1,000-acre body of water created when Muddy Run was dammed in 1967. Upon completion, Muddy Run was the world’s largest pumped-storage hydroelectric generating plant. Today, its 887-acre reservoir capacity provides electricity to the area’s regional power grid.
While the Muddy Run Reservoir has been closed to public fishing since November 2009, the nearby Muddy Run Lake is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. The 100-acre lake sits inside Muddy Run Recreational Park and features largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish and trout. Trails surrounding the shoreline make it easily accessible to shore anglers.

Horseback riding is allowed on all but one of the 11 trails.
The park is named for the Susquehannocks, an Iroquoian-speaking Indian tribe that lived along the river until 1675, when they were defeated by the Iroquois. The word comes from the name Sasquesahanough, meaning “roily water people.”

Frey's Dairy Farm and Turkey Hill Dairy
Frey’s Dairy Farm in Conestoga is the birthplace of Turkey Hill: a brand that includes ice cream, iced tea, and a chain of popular convenience stores and gas stations. The dairy farm sits on Turkey Hill Ridge, a name given to the area by the Conestoga Indians for the wild turkeys that lived there. Today, it produces about 20 percent of the milk used in Turkey Hill products.
Turkey Hill was started during the great depression, when farmer Armor Frey began selling excess milk to neighbors from the trunk of his car. Frey sold the business to his three sons in 1947. In 1954, the family began producing ice cream and including it in its home deliveries.
The Freys opened the first Turkey Hill Minit Market in Lancaster County in 1967, though the stores operated as a separate business from the dairy. In 1974, Turkey Hill became the first company to offer self-service gasoline in Pennsylvania. Turkey Hill was purchased by Kroger in 1979, but the majority of its products still come from Lancaster County.
Safe Harbor Dam
The Safe Harbor Dam, located above the junction of the Conestoga and the Susquehanna, is the last of three hydroelectric dams on the lower Susquehanna River. The dam’s construction began in 1930, and used 730,000 barrels of cement. It started generating power one year later. Five new turbine generator units were added in the 1980s for a total of 417.5 megawatts of hydroelectric power.
In 2001, the Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation won the Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence after removing and recycling over 11,000 tons of river debris. President George W. Bush visited the dam for a photo opportunity the same year, putting Safe Harbor and Conestoga in the national headlines.
Burning Bridge Antique Market
Located in the historic Columbia Coach Works building on 3rd and Walnut Streets, the Burning Bridge Antique Market keeps the past alive with over 24,000 square feet of antique merchandise. In addition to 70 booths and 120 showcases, the building features hardwood floors, pressed tin ceilings, limestone walls and chestnut millwork.
The Columbia Coach Works for which the building is named occupied the premises in the late 1800s. Later, the building housed a used furniture store, hardware shop, underwear company and agricultural implement firm. In 1917 a fire ravaged the place and killed a fireman. Some people believe his ghost still haunts the area.
Shortly after the fire, brick was imported from New York to rebuild the structure. A second floor was added at that time. A hardware store occupied 3rd and Walnut for much of the 1900s. It was especially popular during the holidays, when Santa and the Easter bunny would sit in the store’s window and pose for pictures with the children of Columbia.

Susquehanna Fire and Rescue
The Susquehanna Fire and Rescue Company was formed in 1897 in response to the needs of the rising population. Company meetings were held in the Manor Street School House until the first firehouse was constructed in 1901. In 1909, the company was referred to as “The Hambones” by the Columbia Daily News, a name that has lasted to the present-day.
In addition to hosting fire station tours and safety education programs, the Susquehanna Fire and Rescue Company has a number of fundraisers, including weekly bingo parties and semi-annual chicken barbeques.

Chickies Rock
Each year, thousands of people hike Chickies Rock to take in the view of the surrounding Susquehanna River. Chickies Rock sits at the end of Chickies Ridge, a long hill in Lancaster County composed of Cambrian Chickies Formation. Chickies Creek runs along the north side of the ridge, while Jones Run surrounds the south side.
At 525 feet elevation, Chickies Rock is especially popular with rock climbers. It sits inside over 422 acres of preserved land, much of which was part of the old Pennsylvania Canal. Nearby, the Chickies Rock Overlook trail follows an old trolley grade from Route 441 to the top of the rock. The nearby Clayton Shenk trail crosses Jones Run before climbing the south side of the ridge.
Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge
The Veterans Memorial Bridge carries PA Route 462 from Columbia to Wrightsville. Construction began in 1929, and the bridge opened in 1930. But the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge has existed in several incarnations over the centuries. The first, built in 1812, was rumored to be the longest covered bridge in the world. But only two decades passed before bad weather destroyed the structure.
The second bridge played an important role during the Civil War. In 1863, Confederate armies had entered Pennsylvania. About 2,500 troops under General John B. Gordon were advancing on Wrightsville with the intent to capture the bridge and gain access to Harrisburg. Union troops, meanwhile, were ordered to prevent this by any means necessary. They planned to bomb one side, but when explosives didn’t fully detonate, the soldiers resorted to fire. The plan was a success. Thwarted, the Confederates headed west to Gettysburg without reaching their goal.
Construction of the third bridge began in 1868, but a hurricane destroyed it in 1896. The fourth and most current version is considered the world’s longest concrete multiple-arch bridge, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A new fire house was constructed in 1949 and again in 2002. Today, the Christiana fire Company is located at 214 South Bridge Street in Christiana. It hosts a number of events and fundraisers throughout the year, including an apple dumpling sale and monthly breakfasts.

Though the first settlers were located there in 1723, it was officially created in 1813 from parts of Dauphin County and Lancaster County. Just like the surrounding counties, Lebanon County Pennsylvania has had a large influence from the Pennsylvania Dutch, which is easily seen in the acres upon acres of beautiful landscaping and farms. Lebanon County is also known for its outstanding abundance of dairy and pork products, the most popular of which is their Lebanon Bologna.
As of 2000, the population is 120,327, with a 2004 estimate of 124,489. Its county seat is Lebanon.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, known as the Garden Spot of America since the 18th century, is located in the southeastern part of the state of Pennsylvania. The city of Lancaster is the county seat.
Lancaster County is a popular tourist destination, due mostly to the many plain sect residents, known as the Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch. The term 'Pennsylvania Dutch' comes from the earlier use of "Dutch" to apply to all immigrants from middle Europe. They are the descendants of Germans who immigrated in the 18th and 19th centuries for the freedom of religion offered by William Penn, and were attracted by the rich soil and mild climate of the area.
Lancastrians can easily spot a visitor to the area by how they pronounce the word Lancaster. Locals and people from nearby counties in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware pronounce Lancaster as LANK-ister. This is unusual as most Lancasters in the United States are pronounced as LAN-cast-er, though Lancashire, England, and Lancasters in Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina also use the LANK-ister pronunciation. The inhabitants of Lancaster County speak with the Susquehanna dialect. The Susquehanna dialect is most commonly used in the Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg areas, and incorporates influences from the Philadelphia accent and that of the Pennsylvania Dutch.
As of 2005, there were 490,562 residents in Lancaster County, representing 4.2% growth since 2000 and 11.3% growth since 1990.
