part of the nonprofit Susquehanna NHA. “It was a self-guided tour, and it offered a bunch of things to do that were outside and were free. It caught on so well, we decided to take it under the Susquehanna NHA umbrella and make a list for all of our river towns.” Marietta is the first town in the spotlight. Its bucket list will run through the spring, wrapping up at the end of May. Columbia will be featured during the summer through Labor Day, and then Wrightsville will be highlighted in the fall, with the list series ending in November. Megan Salvatore, visitor services representative for Susquehanna NHA at Columbia Crossing, came up with the ideas on the lists. “I’m from Columbia, and I live in Marietta, so I knew where some of the cool things were,” she explained. “I knew this would be a fun way to showcase some of the unique places in our community.” Highlights of Marietta’s list include attending Marietta Day on Saturday, May 8, and visiting Shank’s Tavern to view high-water marks from floods of the past. People who participate in the series can also win prizes. “We are partnering with the local business association in each town,” Byers stated. “For the first list, the Marietta Area Business Association has put together a prize pack valued at over
$200, with gift cards and swag from downtown merchants. If you do just one item on the bucket list and you submit your information on our website, you’ll be entered to win.” Participants who complete 10 items and submit their information will receive a free ice cream cone from Mulberry Thrill Sweet Treats Café, located at the rear of 100 W. Market St., Marietta. “The really fun part about these lists is it’s a mix of free things and things you have to pay for,” said Byers. “It’s an opportunity to support our local businesses if you can afford to do so, but if you can’t afford that, there are still adorable little things to do and see around town.” Salvatore noted that the bucket lists offer something for everyone. “Whether you’re a visitor or a resident, the bucket list is going to take you on an authentic journey through town,” she remarked. “You’ll get to experience the history and heritage of our area, visit local businesses and get a new appreciation for everything these river towns have to offer.” For more information on the River Town Bucket List series, visit www.susquehannaheritage.org and click on “Explore.” Paper copies of the lists are also available at Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, 41 Walnut St.

Program To Focus On Slack Water Canals The Mount Joy Area Historical Society will offer a program titled “Conestoga Navigation - A Slack Water Canal” on Monday, May 17, at 7 p.m. via Zoom. The speakers, Donald Kautz and Benton G. Webber, will present an overview of the slack water canal system that once existed on the Conestoga River from Lancaster to the Susquehanna River, along with photos of remnants of its locks as they appear today and a brief history of the Conestoga Navigation Company. A questionand-answer session will conclude the presentation. Kautz is a web developer by profession and amateur photographer in his spare time. He recently produced a photo essay about the Conestoga River, has lived in Lancaster County all his life and currently resides in East Lampeter Township. See Canals pg 3
