MARKER TEXT:
The only surviving ferry service across the Susquehanna River began as early as 1825. Boats were poled by manpower until 1873 when the first paddlewheeler was acquired. In the 1920s gasoline engines replaced steam power and the paddlewheels were shifted from the side to the stern. The ferry landing is a short distance east.
