Millersburg Ferry

Transportation
3
Millersburg Ferry, the only surviving ferry service across the Susquehanna, began as early as 1825. Its boats were poled by manpower until 1873, when the first paddlewheeler was acquired. In the 1920's, gasoline engines replaced steam power, and the paddlewheels were shifted from the side to the stern. The ferry landing is a short distance west.
