Harrisburg

Built around John Harris’s ferry crossing on the Susquehanna River, Harrisburg grew into Pennsylvania’s state capital. The city occupies the river’s east bank opposite City Island, while the wooded Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians shape the wider central Pennsylvania setting. Completed in 1906, the Pennsylvania State Capitol and its 272-foot dome anchor the Capitol Complex. In Reservoir Park, the National Civil War Museum places Harrisburg within the story of a state central to the conflict. Rail and highway routes still connect the city with both eastern and western Pennsylvania. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of central Pennsylvania connects regionally.
