The Farm That Fought for Freedom

BY CAT SHANNON

Just off Route 30 in Wrightsville, 87 acres of land hold hundreds of years of history. Now, thanks to the efforts of the Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA), that history will come back to life.

Work is underway to transform the Mifflin farm into the multi-million-dollar Susquehanna Discovery Center & Heritage Park, a destination designed to tell the nationally important stories of York and Lancaster counties.

Recently, the site at 202 Cool Springs Road was added to the National Park Service’s National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program.

Pete Miele, senior project leader, explained that the first white settlers on the land were Jonathan and Susanna Mifflin, who were Quakers. In the early part of the 19th century, the couple played an important role in the Underground Railroad.

“Pretty quickly after they move here, they begin to shelter freedom seekers who are escaping slavery,” Miele said, noting that the Mifflins helped guide people to freedom up until the early 1840s. “This is really early Underground Railroad activity.

The term ‘Underground Railroad’ didn’t really even come into being until the 1840s. If you said, ‘Underground Railroad’ to Jonathan and Susanna Mifflin, they wouldn’t have known what you were talking about.”

The farm also played an important role in the Civil War.

On June 28, 1863, Confederate Gen. John B. Gordon ordered artillery to the front yard of the

home. The soldiers soon encountered Union troops stationed near the Susquehanna River, who retreated to the Lancaster County side before famously burning the bridge to halt the Confederates’ advance.

Determined to promote the history and heritage, Miele is enthusiastically overseeing the project that will take a decade to complete.

It’s a plan that almost ended before it even began, he noted.

Locations around the farm were slowly filling up with warehouses, and what started as a grassroots effort to save the farm from development soon turned into a full-fledged project to protect the property.

In 2017, SNHA, along with partners Preservation Pennsylvania and The Conservation Fund (TCF), began working together to preserve the site for future generations. In April 2022, TCF purchased the 87 acres, and in 2023,

More than 100 years ago, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks began holding an annual observance of Flag Day.

The Columbia-Middletown Elks 1074 will continue the tradition when it hosts its Flag Day ceremony in the gazebo in Locust Street Park, 550 Locust St., Columbia, on Sunday, June 8, at 1 p.m.

“The Elks officers and trustees, led by Exalted Ruler Sue

Luttman, will present the Elks Flag Day ceremony to celebrate the history of our country’s flag,” explained Robin Gamby, chair of the event.

Members of the Frontier Girls, Boy Scout Troop 35 and Columbia Cub Pack 35 will assist with the ceremony.

“Our guest speaker will be William ‘Bill’ Terry,” Gamby shared. “Bill is a 21-year retired U.S. Navy medical deep-sea diver. Bill is also involved with the Lancaster County Navy Club

Beyond the handmade crafts and artisanal goods, visitors will also find multiple yard sale stands offering secondhand treasures. Families with children will want to stop by the kids’ tent, where free face painting and free coloring books will be available for the first 75 kids who come by.

Schlosser emphasized that both admission and parking for the event are free, making it an affordable outing for individuals and families alike. She also noted that beyond just shopping and fun, the event plays a meaningful role in supporting the church and the broader community.

the show will go toward repairs and maintenance at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, which is located just down the street at 409 Cherry St. in Columbia.

In addition to the offerings at the event itself, Schlosser encouraged visitors to explore the town of Columbia, which she describes as full of charm and local treasures.

“Columbia is a great town with a lot to offer,” she said. “Since you’re in town to shop, take a walk down Locust Street and check out the stores or head over to Susquehanna Glass for their summer sale after you visit us.”

The Master Watershed Steward program, in partnership with the Lancaster Conservancy, offers the

bike tour to highlight various watershed features, trail history and geological history on the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail.

The bike tour is an outand-back ride from the East Donegal Riverfront Park to the Fisherman’s Wharf Trail access at the northern terminus in Falmouth. The trail is 100% paved, and the total distance is approximately 15 miles, including stops along the way and a water break.

The journey will run about 2.5 to 3 hours. Helmets are required, and any type of bike is permitted, including road, mountain or gravel. Participants should bring water.

Parking and restroom facilities will be available.

Upon returning to the East Donegal Riverfront Park, attendees can enjoy some of Lancaster County’s finest

snack items and reflect on the experience.

Waterways on Wheels is an educational program of the Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward program. It brings bike riders to the intersection of history and the watershed in immersive natural environments via casual bike rides designed to be fun and educational.

Lancaster Water Week, which will run from Saturday, June 7, through Sunday, June 15, celebrates the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in Lancaster County. During the week, individuals can explore, volunteer and take action to protect local waterways. Participants can register for the bike tour through Tuesday, June 10, for a fee.

it transferred the grounds to SNHA for development into the Susquehanna Discovery Center & Heritage Park.

“We are just finishing up our master plan now - architecture, interpretation, site development, operations - to really give us a blueprint to see what will be here over the next 10 years,” Miele said.

A barn that dates to 1850 will house a visitor’s center, with history and culture exhibits celebrating heritage stories, lecture space and room for community gatherings. An addition will be built on the farmland to house a Susquehanna River art museum, featuring the work and collection of local artist Rob Evans, who has gathered Susquehanna River art dating back to the 1600s.

“History, culture and art will be at this site, and then all around us are going to be walking paths and trails,” Miele said, noting that one of the trails will lead to the river, tracing the path freedom seekers took when they left the farmhouse to

board a ferry to Lancaster County.

Eventually, the farmhouse will be transformed into an interactive multimedia experience, providing even more opportunities to learn about local history. A portion of the property has also been set aside for future development as a complementing restaurant and/or hotel.

While completion of the project is a long way off, the site will open in stages, with a priority placed on getting people on the grounds.

The site opened Memorial Day weekend and will be open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through October, Miele said.

“Once a month, from June through September, we’re going to have a speaker every third Thursday,” he commented. “They will be presenting from the porch of the house. People can bring chairs and sit out here and enjoy the program.”

and founded a Veterans Breakfast Club that meets in Lancaster.”

Columbia Mayor Leo Lutz will address the audience at the ceremony and will issue a proclamation.

The Scouts will hand out small flags and lapel pins to the audience prior to the ceremony.

“Local Elks lodges throughout the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal celebrate Flag Day on or around the official date of Flag Day, June 14,” said Luttman. “The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is the

only fraternal organization to require a formal observance of Flag Day.”

In July of 1908, the Elks Grand Lodge required all subordinate lodges to observe the holiday.

June 14 was officially established as Flag Day by a proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. Flag Day was not a national observance until 1949, when President Harry Truman, himself an Elks member, was inspired through his lodge in Independence, Mo., to sign an act of Congress that dedicated June 14 to the

project, SNHA has applied for grants and has received donations to cover some of the costs.

The organization will hold the Summer Soiree fundraiser on Friday, June 20, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the site.

“We’ll have big tents set up outside, and the doors will be open to the barn, where we’ll have interpretative panels with artist concepts and drawings of the project,” said Bill Wright, director of community giving for SNHA. “In the corn crib outside the barn, we’re going to have a silent auction.”

Auction items will feature a variety of experiences, such as canoe trips and a

special behind-the-scenes tour of the Hellam Preserve. The event will also feature a dinner buffet and tethered hot-air balloon rides sponsored by Ephrata National Bank.

With funds already committed from grants and donations, renovations can begin on the farmhouse soon, and improvements such as handicapped-accessible parking and public-access walkways have been completed.

symbol of our country.

As Gamby explained, the Elks are a patriotic and charitable organization. Since the organization began 157 years ago, the Elks have donated more than $12 billion to various beneficiaries. There are close to 2,000 Elks Lodges across the country with a total membership of more than 750,000 people.

“The local Columbia-Middletown Elks No. 1074 Lodge has over 650 members and has invested over $380,000 in the local community over the past five years to enrich our community,” Luttman said.

She encourages people to come to the park for the ceremony, adding, “Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy this patriotic celebration of our country’s flag.”

The ceremony will be held rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, an alternate location for the ceremony will be announced on Facebook.
