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
Engines Will Roar at Thunder on the River
BY CAT SHANNON
If you plan to be in downtown Columbia at noon on Saturday, June 21, brace yourself. You’re about to discover why an annual event is called Thunder on the River.
At the 11th annual show, more than 525 cars, trucks and
motorcycles will line Locust Street and, following the national anthem, fire up their engines at once. The synchronized revving sends a thunderous roar through the town, a tradition that’s become the show’s signature moment.
“We started this tradition a few years ago, and it’s become

Feel the Beat at Music in the Park
BY CAT SHANNON
The Columbia Lions Club kicked off its Music in the Park Summer Concert Series in May, and the series will continue on the third Friday of each month through August. Concerts will be held at Locust Street Park, 550 Locust St., Columbia, from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. A bonus concert will also be held on Sunday, July 13, from 6 to 7 p.m.
Mama Tried Band will perform on June 20. A Columbia favorite, the band is known for delivering
a mix of funk, dance and rock. Its lively performances, impressive musicianship and ability to engage the audience ensure a fantastic night of music, said Phil Kresge, who co-chairs Music in the Park with Paul Resch.
On July 13, the Twin Rose Community Band will entertain. The band originally formed as the Long Level Silver Cornet Band, later becoming the Columbia VFW Band. It was reorganized in 2014 as the Twin Rose Community Band. Though the band started in Lancaster County, its home base

Riverboat Tours Planned
Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) will offer boat tours on Thursdays to Sundays during its 2025 tour season. SNHA will welcome guests aboard the Chief Uncas, a historic electric-powered boat, for tours on the Lake Clarke reach of the Susquehanna River. Tours will depart from the dock at SNHA’s Zimmerman Center for Heritage, 1706 Long Level Road, Wrightsville.
River Discovery Boat Tours are one-hour tours for up to 22 passengers. Guests will take in the views of the river and learn about the history and heritage of the Susquehanna River.

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, 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.
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.”
With an estimated price tag of $45 million for 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.”
“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
Auction items will feature a variety of experiences, such as canoe trips and a special behindthe-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.

Garden Tour Will Showcase Blooms and Backyards
BY CAT SHANNON
From water features to window boxes overflowing with blooms, the Marietta Garden Tour will highlight creativity among the foliage found in seven homes. The tour will be held rain or shine on Sunday, June 22, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The stops on the route are all within walking distance along Front Street and throughout Marietta.
“We have some really great things to see and some unusual things,” said Karen Sullivan, tour chairperson. “We have a house that has a historic railroad track going right through the front yard.”
That home, on Front Street, features dogwood trees, lots of shade-loving plants and a large magnolia tree.
As Sullivan explained, the railroad tracks date back to the 1800s, when coal was delivered to the front door of a supply station then located where the home is now. When Front Street was paved, a portion of the track was removed, but some of the track was left in the home’s front yard.
“This is some of the history you’ll see in Marietta,” Sullivan said. “We have some very old homes, and there’s lots of history.”
At the home of Glen and
Judith Mazis-Kennedy, tourgoers can observe blooming flower beds of annuals and perennials, a pond surrounded by a low stone wall, native plants and bushes and Serenity Rock, a locally famous outcropping highlighted by roses, purple salvia and forsythia.
“We have a lot of birds that visit the yard,” Judith said. “The other day, I counted 30 different birds.” She and Glen enjoy hanging out in their backyard sanctuary, which also features mature shade trees, a vegetable garden and an Amish-built gazebo.
Other stops on the tour will showcase herb gardens, fountains, a goldfish pond, ginkgo trees, Japanese maple trees and fairy gardens.
Along with the tour, the event will feature a pork barbecue meal for sale throughout the day at the Marietta Community House, 264 W. Market St. Meals can be enjoyed at the house or taken to go.
Two seminars, at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m., will be held at the Community House. Anne Sipe, a former Community House board member and attendee of the Longwood Gardens School, will speak on flower arranging.
Mulberry Thrill, located at 100 W. Market St. in a historic bank, will be open for refreshments during the tour.
New this year, an art exhibit titled “In Bloom” will be open at MH Art Gallery, 42 W. Market St.
Featuring 34 works, the exhibit will showcase art ranging from realistic botanical watercolors and emotive en plein air florals to bold mixed-media interpretations. The collection will feature the talents of gallery artists Marianne Calenda, Melissa Carroll, Susan Davitti Darling, Marita Hines (the gallery owner), Joanne McIlvaine and Linda Mylin Ross, along with guest artist Roseanne Wolfe, a renowned watercolorist from Mechanicsburg. Visitors can enjoy complimentary Nissley wine or mocktails and talk with the artists during the garden tour. The exhibit will continue on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the summer.
Proceeds from the Marietta Garden Tour support maintenance and upkeep of the Marietta Community House property, which includes two buildings, and help to fund community events at the site.
“The Garden Tour is truly a community event,” Sullivan said. “Part of our mission is to support other organizations in Marietta, and we are supporting the Community House, which offers a variety of events that are open to the public.”
Discounted tickets are available for the tour through Saturday, June 21, and may be purchased at Mulberry
Thrill; Floral Designs of Mount Joy, 1599 W. Main St., Mount Joy; River Road Produce, 1835 River Road, Marietta; and Murphy’s Mercantile and Co., 261 Locust St., Columbia. Full-price tickets will be available at the Marietta Community House on the day of the event.

is now Trinity Lutheran Church in Wrightsville, York County, hence the name “Twin Rose,” Resch said. The group’s repertoire is wide-ranging, including everything from Beatles and Billy Joel tunes to traditional marches and patriotic selections.
On July 18, Bump City will be featured. This eight-piece funk and dance band features a diverse lineup of talented musicians spanning multiple generations, Resch shared. Bump City is renowned for its ability to perform danceable tunes from the past eight decades, blending funk, soul and R&B into a seamless and infectious groove.
The Central City Orchestra will perform on Aug. 15. The group is a high-energy 10-piece band that specializes in dance hits, from oldies music to today’s favorites, Kresge said.
People are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the concerts. A variety of food trucks will be on-site, serving food and drinks.
The Music in the Park series is free and open to the public, made possible by the support of local businesses, individuals and donations received during the concerts. The Columbia Lions Club provides the necessary manpower to ensure the success of the concerts, from scheduling and advertising to setup and cleanup.
“This marks the 10th year that the Columbia Lions Club has presented the Music in the Park Summer Concert Series,” Kresge said. “The Lions are thrilled to continue this tradition, bringing outstanding live music to our community. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and supporters, we can provide these concerts free of charge for all to enjoy.”
The kickoff concert on May 16 was dedicated to the late Donald “Granny” Arndt, a longtime Columbia Lions Club member and community leader who passed away in 2023. Arndt made a lasting impact on Columbia as a supporter of youth sports, school programs and community initiatives. A former Columbia Boys Athletic Association (CBAA) basketball coach and Columbia High School girls’ basketball coach, he mentored and inspired countless young athletes. His passion extended beyond the court to the Noah Wenger Center, a former armory at 221 Walnut St., which he played a crucial role in acquiring from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, renovating and maintaining. Now the indoor home of the CBAA, the center serves more than 400 children annually for basketball, wrestling, cheerleading, baseball and softball and is also used for fitness programs and worship services. During the May concert, the Lions Club members unveiled a memorial bronze nameplate on the Lions Club plaque at the gazebo in Arndt’s honor.
“Granny had a way of inspiring - and sometimes even challenging - others to step up, get involved and give generously to support children and families; student-athletes; and students involved in activities like theater, marching band and leadership programs,” said Resch, who is the Lions Club president. “He was passionate about helping young people succeed, whether on the court, on stage or in the classroom. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched, and we are proud to honor him at this year’s Music in the Park series.”
a highlight of the show,” said Paul Resch, president of the Columbia Lions Club, which organizes the event. “A lot of people think that’s how the show got its name, and it does fit. But truthfully, the name came first. Then someone said, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if they all revved their engines at the same time?’ It was the perfect idea, and it stuck.”
Thunder on the River will take place on June 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine, along Locust Street between Front and Sixth streets and in Locust Street Park. Admission is free for spectators.
All makes and models are welcome in the sold-out show, which will award 86 trophies across various categories, including Best of Show and the Barry Doutrich Memorial Trophy, named for the event’s founder.
“Coming to the car show is like stepping into a time machine,” Resch said. “You’ll see the car you drove in high school, the one your dad taught you to drive in or the one you always dreamed of owning. Maybe it’s the car you took to the Columbia Drive-In, the one you drove to prom or even the one you decorated and drove away in on your wedding day. It’s not just about the cars; it’s about the memories we made with friends and family over the years, with those cars and trucks right at the heart of the story.”
Highlights of the event will include a flag ceremony performed by members of Boy Scout Troop 35 at 11:30 a.m., followed by the national anthem and the engine revving at noon. Food vendors, nonprofit groups and restaurants will sell a variety of food, including strawberry shortcake, chicken fingers and fries. Food trucks and vendors will be set up along Locust Street and will include Scoops Ice Cream and Grille and Bricker’s Famous French Fries. A full list of downtown restaurants may be found at https://columbia merchants.com.
Lions Club To Host Celebration
The Kreutz Creek Valley Lions Club will present Hallam Hometown Hero Celebration on Flag Day, Saturday, June 14, at 4 p.m. at the Hallam softball fields at the corner of Market Street and Claire Avenue.
The event will recognize local heroes with the unveiling of
Hometown Hero Banners. There will also be refreshments and a performance by the Twin Rose Band at 4 p.m. In the case of rain, the event will be held the same day and time at ValleyView Alliance Church, 200 Alliance Ave., York.
A Kids Pit Stop in the parking garage at CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health, 401 Locust St., will have crafts, face painting, snacks, drinks and free toy cars from Columbia Borough Police. “One of the highlights for the little ones is walking up to a police officer and asking for a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car,” Resch shared.
Official Thunder on the River T-shirts will be sold at the Lions Club tent in front of 345 Locust St.
“Thunder on the River isn’t just for car enthusiasts. It’s a great day out for the whole family,” Resch said. “It’s such a fun and memorable experience. There’s something here for every age.”
New this year, Donation Ambassadors will hand out programs and collect donations for local groups like the Columbia Animal Shelter, Our Home of Hope, Red Rose Veterans Honor Guard and Columbia Borough Police.
The Last Ride Car Show, sponsored by Mount Bethel Cemetery, will feature hearses, ambulances and flower cars between Sixth and Seventh streets, along with themed vendor booths in the cemetery, 700 Locust St.
Since taking over the show in 2014, the Columbia Lions Club has raised more than $68,000 for local nonprofits.
“We’re proud to keep this tradition going, and every year it just gets better,” Resch said. “People come back year after year because they know they’ll see some of the best cars in central Pennsylvania, they’ll see old friends and they’ll make new memories.”
Spectator parking will be available on surrounding streets and in designated lots, including Holy Trinity Church, Janson Park, Columbia Church, Workman Funeral Homes, Columbia Crossing River Trails Center and more. Parking fees may apply. Restrooms will be available at multiple indoor and outdoor locations, including Columbia Market House and St. Paul Lutheran Church.

Bob Redcay To Host Art Exhibit
Bob Redcay will exhibit his art for sale at Bube’s Brewery and Restaurant, 102 N. Market St., Mount Joy, from Friday, June 20, through Sunday, Aug. 17. His pieces include acrylic paintings on preserved leaves and on canvases, traditional watercolors and framed prints.
For more than 20 years, Redcay has been painting on preserved leaves. He enjoys the challenge of taking a leaf and turning it into a one-of-a-kind fine art project with a lighthouse, bird or animal painted on it. The exhibit aims to promote the visual arts
and inspire other people to consider being creative by picking up a paint brush.
Redcay occasionally offers workshops through the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen in Lancaster. In August 2024, he was awarded Master Artisan status by the guild for “Excellence in Workmanship, Resolved Design and Unique Voice.”
There will be an opportunity to meet Redcay and dialogue about his art at the artist reception on June 20 from 5 to 8 p.m.
