MILLERSBURG FERRY BOAT ASSOC

MILLERSBURG, PA

The Millersburg Ferry Boat Association is a non-profit organization located in Millersburg, Pennsylvania that operates a historic ferry boat across the Susquehanna River. The ferry boat, known as the Roaring Bull V, is one of the last few remaining ferries of its kind in Pennsylvania and has been in operation since the mid-19th century.

The Association was founded in 1983 by a group of local residents who wanted to preserve the historic ferry and ensure its continued operation. Today, the Association relies on donations, grants, and volunteers to maintain and operate the ferry.

The Roaring Bull V can carry up to 16 cars or 50 passengers and operates during the summer months from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The ferry provides a unique and scenic experience for both locals and tourists, offering stunning views of the Susquehanna River and the surrounding countryside.

In addition to operating the ferry, the Millersburg Ferry Boat Association also hosts various events throughout the year, including a Christmas boat parade and a fall festival. The Association's museum, located on the Millersburg side of the river, showcases the history of the ferry and the local area.

Overall, the Millersburg Ferry Boat Association is a vital part of the community and a beloved local attraction that offers a glimpse into the past while providing a valuable service for modern-day travelers.

Two bank buildings, Harrisburg, PA I used to take these sorts of building for granted. Now I'm coming to appreciate the history and architecture. The near one was built as the Central Trust Company in 1893 and is now a community center. The one behind was an early midrise built as the Commercial Bank Building (later the Furlow Building) in 1908, with a bank (and later a five-and-ten) in the retail space and fashionable apartments above. It closed in the Great Depression and has now been redeveloped for mixed commercial and residential use.
