Columbia Crossing

41 Walnut Street, Columbia, Pennsylvania 17512

Susquehanna Saturdays present fun hands-on activities for all ages on a variety of topics that explore nature, history, and culture. March's theme -- “Harnessing the Wind” – explores how wind is a force that can cause movement, motion, and power, and how to use this force in our everyday lives. Create a sailboat, make something fly high into the air, and discover how a turbine moves and uses wind to create energy with LCSWMA. This program is sponsored by Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority. This hands-on educational program is available anytime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., while supplies last. 

All Susquehanna Saturdays are free for all ages, but a suggested donation of $2 per participant is appreciated. Proceeds benefit the operations and programs of the Columbia Crossing River Trails Center and Susquehanna Heritage. Columbia Crossing is at 41 Walnut Street, Columbia, PA 17512.
