Harrisburg, PA | A Tour of the Capital City

On this cold winter day, we take a tour of the Capitol city of Harrisburg & the community of Hershey. Harrisburg was the mid-point for the Pennsylvania cities where all the materials met to be redistributed everywhere else. Its the Capitol because of the ideal location which made it the center of the state. In this tour we experience a frozen Susquehanna, a couple of days after the Nor'easter winter storm. Then we take a further look at the capitol building and journey around town to Midtown Scholar Bookstore and Broad Street Market. We finish our tour in Hershey and Chocolate world, to get a delicious look at Hershey's history. I'll see you on tour!

Loved this. I was born and raised in Harrisburg in 1944. Lived there for 21 years and spent many good times at Hershey Park that was nothing like it is now. Whenever I have trouble getting to sleep, in my mind I visit the old days at the park and I can recreate ever step from the entry by the sports arena where the Hershey Bears played and I learned to ice skate, to the laughing lady at the fun house. My favorite ride was the Cuddle Up. And when I experienced my first earthquake living in South America, I thought of the moving floor and barrels in the funhouse across from the bandshell. Too bad times cannot be that good again. Muchos Gracias mi Amigo!

Pennsylvania Canals Eastern Division operated from Columbia up to point where it's now buried under the ramp we use from Chestnut Street as we come down onto Market Street as we walk to/from AMTRAK/Greyhound as it crossed Market Street to PHEAA building too the west side of tracks as buses are coming into and exit Greyhound.

You inspired me. After living in many cities and states to buy a condo in Pennsylvania to spend summers during my retirement. Thanks! You should do Harrisburg in the summer.

I'm from nearby but never really explored Harrisburg. You have inspired me to check out the Broad Street Market and Midtown Bookstore. Thanks!

Harrisburg is an underrated big town/little city. It's a good spot for a day trip from Philly or Pittsburgh and has a lot of beautiful surrounding countryside, especially around Lancaster. Quietly beautiful area.

[sidneymartin]

Thanks for a good and informative video. I am visiting both next week, and you gave me a good preview.

The empty pairs on the West Shore side of the Susquehanna River was to be first bridge for William Vanderbilt's never finished South Pennsylvania Railroad as it was to be part of the New York Central RR lines, as it was to come off the Lebanon Valley Railroad that became the Reading Railroad lines as before the President of the Reading Railroad committed suicide before that he had worked with the Vanderbilt's and the Ahl't Brothers with Thaddeous Stevens to ready the Rutherford Railroad yard to work with the SPRR.

During survey work for the South Pennsylvania Railroad the surveyors were planning to connect to the East Broad Top Railroad for SPRR to use the Sherman's Valley Railroad, but that plan was scrapped with the building of the line from Burnt Cabins along the Pennsylvania Turnpikes eastbound lanes through Kittatinny, Blue Mountain and Tuscarora tunnels as where the newer cell phone tower is now SPRR was to cut south to follow Truck PA 641 and PA 641 to reach Chambers Gap to cross North Orange Street in Carlise to wye onto the now rerouted PRR's Harrisburg to Chambersburg Railroad that now ends at Giant Foods warehouse, yet the line for the SPRR was to wye to SPRR's planned line to run crossing U.S. 11/PA 74 alongside the gas Station in Carlisle to use part of the Cemetary of Chambers Cemetery to service old section of Carlisle barracks onto through where the SPRR was to be where War Memorial is today onto to Chambers Cemetery to reach the trailer Court and CVS in Mechanicsburg to reach Memorial Park in Camp Hill on West Shore to wye to Readings line to enter Rutherford Yard.
