Rivertowns of the Capital Region

There are historic towns like Duncannon and Millersburg, which gave rest to horse-drawn travelers on their way from one side of Pennsylvania to the other.  There’s the grandeur of the state capitol building in Harrisburg, only a few short blocks from the Susquehanna River.  Communities like Camp Hill, New Cumberland, and Swatara Township offer their residents a suburban lifestyle with easy access to major highways and metropolitan worlds. 

Just as it embodies a range of heritage and cultures, the Capitol Region combines forested woodland with well tended farmland, steep gorge-like ridges with winding river trails.  There are renowned bird habitats, nationally recognized fishing opportunities, the Millersburg Ferry, and Three Mile Island.  Linking it together ─ the communities, features, and styles of living ─ is the Susquehanna River, a vision of beauty and a source of recreation and history.  When we see it, we’re home.
