  • Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan

    Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan

    Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Action Plan 3-1 Action Plan Introduction The Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (Plan) is a visionary document that provides a clear path on how Perry County can continue to provide and expand recreation resources and opportunities in the County. To ensure the Plan meets the needs and expectations of the residents of the County, the planning process and strategy development was very open to the public. A total of six public participation meetings were conducted, three at frontend of the project to listen to the public, and three at the backend to present the recommendations and achieve a level of public support that would allow the plan to be easily adopted and implemented by the Board of Commissioners. In addition to those public participation meetings, a total of fifty (50) key stakeholders were identified and interviewed on various topics, including Water Resources, Land Resources, Conservation, Regulatory, Funding, People, Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. A summary of the key stakeholder interviews and input from the public participation meetings is provided in the Plan. In addition to those interviews and meetings, a committee of fifty individuals (Committee) was created to provide additional input and guidance on the Plan, and a core committee of seven individuals was created from the full committee to oversee the month to month activities. Plan concepts, strategies, and recommendations were all ran through the core committee before receiving final approval by the full committee. The day to day interactions were handled by county staff from the County Planning Commission and Conservation District.

    Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C

    Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C. Bruggeman College of William and Mary John Watson must have been quite content by the summer of 1870. Though he never learned to read or write, Watson retired at the age of sixty with a wife, five children, and the satisfaction of being one of the wealthiest residents in his community. Thirty-eight years before, Watson and his new wife, Sybella, left Reading, Pennsylvania, to begin a new life in not-so-distant Middletown. Why the newlyweds chose Middletown as their destination is unknown, but the town's dramatic growth and economic success is one possible reason. Though the oldest town in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Middletown did not achieve its full potential until the mid-nineteenth century. First incorporated as a borough in 1828 and then merged with neighboring Portsmouth in 1857, one unique feature made Middletown especially fertile for growth: the junction of the Pennsylvania and Union Canals. Even prior to the canals' construction Middletown proved a significant trade center. Built near the junction of the Swatara Creek and Susquehanna River, Middletown received southbound arks and canoes laden with grain from northern farmland intended for sale in Lancaster and Philadelphia. Middletown's grain trade flourished even before the arrival of canal travel. One hundred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat traveled through Middletown in 1790 en route to Philadelphia.' This number jumped to 180,000 in 1795 and skyrocketed to 800,000 in 1824. Further internal development accompanied increased water traffic. By 1870, Middletown boasted nearly three thousand residents, eight churches, and a variety of business facilities "not surpassed by any other town in Dauphin County, or of like population in the State."2 It is, therefore, no wonder that John and Sybella foresaw potential economic opportunities awaiting them in the riverside town.3 Their expectation was, indeed, correct.

    Historic & Cultural Resources

    Chapter 2 Historic and Cultural Resources HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION Historic resources include buildings, districts or groups of buildings and sites of national, state, or local historical, cultural, engineering, architectural, and archaeological significance. A wealth of these resources is found throughout Perry County and the surrounding area. The chapter includes among its highlights, an inventory of the Bureau of Historical and National Register/Listed and Eligible Properties, a listing of historical markers, and a list of historic districts. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT The settlement of Perry County began as traders followed the Native American trails into what was then Cumberland County. The Iroquois drove the first settlers from their lands, as these areas had not been purchased from the Iroquois. Andrew Montour was the first authorized settler in what is now Perry County following the signing of an agreement with the Native Americans on April 18, 1752. The Penn’s purchased the land, which is now Perry County in 1754. The settlers came to Perry County in 1755 with the opening of the land office for settlement of lands, on February 3, 1755. In 1755, George Robinson built a fort to protect against the Staff Digital Photograph of the History of Perry Native Americans in Sherman Valley, along Bixler County by H. H. Hain, Published 1922 Run. After 1760, many more pioneers of Scotch Irish descent came over the mountains from the Cumberland Valley followed by settlers of German descent. By 1767, the best farm plots were claimed and by 1778, most of the land in the County was spoken for. Perry County was part of Cumberland County and was created by an act signed by the governor William Fidley on March 22, 1820.
