Petroglyphs

The Susquehanna River is almost 450 miles in length, but has one unique attraction.  Starting in
the vicinity of Washington Boro south to the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay, Petroglyphics
or Rock Carvings by Native Americans can be found.  Many petroglyphs are located near the
mouth of the Conestoga River at Safe Harbor.  WBSSRH is proud to have three petroglyphs
(pictured below) that were removed from the Susquehanna River before the construction of the
Safe Harbor Hydroelectric Dam in 1931.
 

The petroglyphs are on loan from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
