One hundred and fifteen years after being installed, the Bluestone steps in front of the Susquehanna County Courthouse are being replaced. The exact date of the previous stonework was literally unearthed on Sept. 5, as work crews discovered a time capsule – a glass container buried June 26, 1909, during the last repair work of the Courthouse steps.
Built along the railways that once shipped the region's anthracite coal, the D&H Rail-Trail follows the Lackawanna River, the Starrucca Creek, and the mighty Susquehanna River for 38 miles through the rural, scenic landscape of the Endless Mountains. Each year, thousands of people enjoy walking, running, biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding along its historic pathways.
