Capitol, River Front, Fort Washington, Parks, Auto and Trolley Rides are Points of Interest. WHAT TO SEE IN HARRISBURG By George F. Ross To the stranger within our gates a directory of the points of interest in this city and its environs may be help ful in indicating their locality and the most accessible routes by which they can be reached. With that object in view this is written. It goes without saying that visitors on sightseeing bent will first wish to make a tour of the magnificent State Capitol building. Tts location is within easy walking distance from all the railroad stations, and it stands out so conspicuously that no explicit direc tions for reaching it are necessary. From the Capitol a stroll is sug gested down West State street, the broad avenue that will be observed from the main entrance to the Cap itol. The Masoijic Temple, Grace Methodist Church, the Cathedral, and the monument erected by Dauphin county to the soldiers and sailors of the Civil War will he passed enroute to Front street, where a stretch of magnificent scenery will eharm. the heholder. The River Park, the broad Susquehanna, its bosom dotted with many picturesque islands, the blue mountains in the distance, and the farms and villages on the opposite shore combine to make a pic Wire that ! Harrisburg prizes as one of its most valued assets. The River Front Incidentally we rejoice that our River Front, unlike other cities hav ing a water front, has not been given over to industrial establishments, but continues to be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." At the corner of Front and North streets the city water works are lo cated, and on the large island opposite Majestic Theater pir i nnk irni y i ln a New Farce with songs - FVATAN(TIIAY MISSTABASCO Orchestra $1.50, SI.OO, 75<i ■ V I V ■ ■ I / ■ ■ —BY— •! ▼ X A 111 l A Julian Horst & Arthur Lippschitz MONDAY EVENING, • HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH . OCTOBER 5, 191,4. the central portion of the city the fil tration plant performs its work so ad mirably that it is considered to be one of the best in the country. Officials from other municipalities have visited it from time to time and its inspec tion by them has called forth their highest commendation. Adjoining the filtration plant on the east are the grounds of the Harrisburg Athletic Association, while the city play grounds occupy the lower end of the island. These can be reached by either the Walnut or Market street bridges. As one strolls down Front street i many handsome residences are passed, among which is a historic building at the corner of Front and South streets. This building was erected for William Maciay. the first United States Sen ator from this State and was occu pied by him in the early days of this city. It is constructed of limestone and the original edifice has, in re cent years, been greatly enlarged, but happily the style of architecture and the character of the materials used in the addition correspond with what was "The Old Maciay Mansion." It is now the home of William Elder Bailey. But a short distance below, the Executive Mansion will be seen, and the coat of arms chiseled on its brownstone front will assist in its identification. A little over two blocks from this point, at the corner of Front and Walnut streets, the new public li brary is located, and one block farther down Market street will be reached, the principal business thoroughfare of the city. Here a steel bridge spans the river, one that a few years since supplanted what was familiarly known as the "camel-back" bridge because of its peculiar construction. When Charles Dickens visited this country in 184 2 he crossed that! bridge, riding on the top of a stage i coach, and he has described it in his J inimitable fashion in "American i Notes." The two columns standing! at the entrance to the bridge were • formerly part of the historic State j Capitol building which was destroyed ; by fire February 2, 1897. The bronzes j on the pedestals of the columns pic- 1 ture the.old Capitol and the "camel-! back" bridge, and are worthy of no tice. "Fort Washington" At this point attention is directed to a high bluff on the opposite side of i the river. In the Spring of 1863 the: Confederate Army invaded Pennsyl- j vania, and the capture or destruction | of Harrisburg was threatened, the skirmishers of the enemy having reached a point but three miles dis tant from the city. Troops were has tily concentrated on this bluff and a line of intrenchments thrown up, in th<* construction of which many citi zens of this city volunteered their as sistance on a memorable Sabbath day. On these breastworks cannon were mounted and the name of "Fort, Washington" was given to the site, a I name that still clings to it. After the flight of over fifty years these in trenchments are still in evidence and are a silent reminder of the stirring days of the Civil War. This fort may well be designated as the high water mark of that great conflict, for Gen eral Lee withdrew his army from this vicinity and concentrated it at Get tysburg, where the memorable battle was fought in the first week of July, 1863. Two blocks from this point the Har risburg hospital is located and here the river is again spanned by a steel railroad bridge, which is used jointly by the Cumberland Valley railroad and the Northern Central railroad. Pass ing through a subway recently con structed and walking a short dis tance down Front street a large stone residence looms up. This build ing was erected in 1766 by John Har ris, the founder of the city. For many years It was the home of General Simon Cameron, who was President Lincoln's first Secretary of War, and also a United States Senator from Pennsylvania for almost fifteen years. It is now the home of his daughter. Mrs. Richard J. Haldeman. Imme diately opposite in the River Park is the grave' of John Harris, the father of the founder of the city. See Mulberry St. Bridge The visitor should not fail to see one of the municipal features of which we are justly proud, namely, the Mulberry street viaduct, which is accessible from the center of the city. It is constructed of reinforced con crete and its architectural design and magnitude excites the admiration of all. It cost In round figures $250,000. Thus far I have directed the visitor only to points that are within walking distance, and I will devote the bal 'ance of this paper to such places of interest as will necessitate the use of the trolley car or some other mode of conveyance to the end that they may be comfortably reached. Reservoir Park, containing 88 acres. Is most beautifully situated, and may be quickly reached by trolley car from Market Square, cars marked "Reser voir Park" leaving the Square at fre quent intervals. This park derives its name from the fact that the city reservoirs are located there. From its elevation a scene of surpassing beauty can be witnessed, embracing the city and its environment of ham lets, river, mountains and fertile farms. Looking to the west; the gap in the mountains through which the majestic Susquehanna winds its way can be seen, and on days when the atmospheric conditions are favorable, the trains of the Pennsylvania rail road are discernible crossing the great Btone arch bridge spanning the river at Rockville, five miles away. This structure is well worth visiting. Trol ley cars marked "Rockville" leave the Square every twenty minutes and will convey one to this wonderful product of engineering design and mechanical skill. Wildwood "Wildwood" is another of our parks and lies to the north of the city. It contains 54 2 acres. This park fairly riots in wild flowers in the early Spring and summer of great variety and beauty, and abounds in pic turesque scenery. Within its confines a lake of considerable size affords an opportunity for boating in the sum mer and skating in the winter. It can be reached by the Rockville cars, but the bettor way, owing to its dis tance from the city, is by automo bile. 1 11 conclusion let me suggest an automobile ride over the following route, which I am confident will be most satisfying:— Starting from Market Square, pro ceed down Market street to Fourth street, thence over the Mulberry street viaduct to Cameron street, thence through the Cameron parkway, thence, via Derry street and Eighteenth street to Reservoir Park, through the park, thence via East State street to Fourth and fjixth streets, to Maclay strqet, through Wildwood Park and thence to Riverside Drive, a combination of State highway and splendidly paved street, passing many beautiful homes in a setting of attractive lawns. The trolley system affords an oppor tunity for visiting all parts of the city and the surrounding country.
