Photograph- These old photos taken back in the early 1930s prior to the closure of the dam at Safe Harbor are on Indian petrographs on rocks that later were submerged in the Susquehanna River. These are presented to the LCHS by Brig. Gen. Richard B. Nissley, 1117 Wheatland Ave., Lancaster. He says they were taken by his scoutmaster when Gen. Nissley was a Boy Scout.
