On this , we’re looking back at a moment that changed history. On the last Sunday in June 1863, locals stopped Confederate troops from crossing into Lancaster County and advancing toward Harrisburg and Philadelphia by burning the covered bridge spanning the Susquehanna River. Just three days later, the Battle of Gettysburg erupted.

📜 In a letter to her husband General Thomas Welsh, Annie Welsh offers a fascinating glimpse into that pivotal moment in our region’s history and the people who lived through it.

Want to experience the story for yourself? Step into history at Riverfest! The weekend is packed with local history tours and experiences and culminates with a dramatic re-creation of the bridge burning, featuring all 26 historic bridge piers illuminated along the river.🔥 Explore the full schedule and start planning your weekend: https://riverfestpa.com/riverfest-schedule/

🌈 After the storm comes a little color.

We were treated to this beautiful rainbow over the restaurant after today’s rain, and during Pride Month it felt especially fitting. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

If you’re looking for an excuse to get outside this weekend, the pizza patio is open at 4 PM this Sunday! Come grab a drink, enjoy the river views, and hopefully catch a sunset just as colorful.
