WHAT CAN THE S
SEE WHILE IN HARRISBURG?
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

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. A ride
into the Cumberland and Lebanon
