Connecting Columbia and Wrightsville

MERCHANDISER

One well-known historic area landmark spans the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville. Veterans Memorial Bridge, which opened in 1930 and is now a part of Route 462, is one of six bridges that have provided a river crossing in the immediate area since the early 1800s.

With 2013 marking the 150th anniversary of the burning of the second of those bridges to prevent the Confederate advance into Lancaster County, the Columbia Market House is housing a display of photos and information about each of the crossings.
