Letter from the Editor
Beginning with our next issue, I’ll be taking over as editor
of the Marietta Traveler. It will be quite a step for someone
like me, who hasn’t always been able to unequivocally call
himself a “Mariettian”.
Don’t get me wrong, whenever I’ve been asked by
someone from out-of-town where I live, I’ve always
enthusiastically told them that I live in Marietta. When
a Mariettian asked the same question, however, I used to
waffle a bit and say something to the effect of “in Marietta,
basically, well, on the other side of 441”.
After all, living in “the township”, I can’t vote for the
Marietta mayor or serve on the borough council. My wife
and I aren’t reflected in the Marietta population when the
census is taken every ten years. My friends are in Marietta,
though. Much of my free time is spent in Marietta. I have
a great deal of affection for almost all things Marietta. I
feel like part of this community, in short, and I’ve been
making an effort recently to unapologetically declare
myself a Mariettian, no matter who does the asking.
In the spirit of acknowledging that political boundaries
are not necessarily community boundaries, those of us at
The Marietta Traveler would like to expand future coverage
to include articles pertaining to Maytown, East Donegal
Township, and all corners of the Marietta community.

A Winter Poem
Written by Trevor Williams
Winter’s here, yet again,
Bringing in this Year’s end.
Sounds of laughter fill the streets,
As children delight to neglect
their school seats.
Snowmen built and snowball fights had.
Despite wicked travels the families are glad.
Come ye one, come ye all.
Let us march to heed the Family’s call.
All ye come and come ye soon
Let Love bring us all our boon.
Here we are, yet again,
Ringing in the once New Year’s end.

Conservation is Key on Marietta’s Susquehanna
Written by Jenna Carroll
Early duck hunting season was open from October 17th
through October 24th, and for my husband, as well as many
other water-fowlers, this is their favorite time of the year.
However, times have changed and the population of hunters
has risen given its popularity on shows like Duck Dynasty.
This is a good thing for reasons such as the communication
that the positive environment hunting can create for a
family, helping individuals obtain a self-sustaining lifestyle,
and increased awareness for conservation. The newfound
popularity of duck hunting is also helping to increase the
state’s revenue, which can be used to improve conditions for
wildlife.
For some local hunters who have been hunting since they
were children, this growing popularity has created struggles
too, such as limiting hunting spots and impacting the
population of birds available to hunt.
“Marietta’s portion of the Susquehanna use to be one of the
greatest places to hunt ducks, but for the past decade this area
has declined in producing the habitat it needs to sustain a
healthy population of local and migratory birds, “ says Philip
Carroll. “I’ve lived here (Marietta) my whole life and have
hunted since I can remember. This area was once robust and
full of wildlife, but now it is a struggle to see a few ducks on
opening day of duck season.”
One reason for the declining duck population is river
flooding, which has depleted vegetation over time. Following
the floods, this area has also lost a large amount of reed grass
and other native grasses which Wood Ducks and Mallards
feed off of, causing them to not return if vegetation is scarce.
Another reason for the decline is the growing hunting pressure.
A final reason is pollution and disrespectful treatment to the
local lands.
“When becoming a hunter, you are becoming a
conservationist,” says Carroll. “You need to remember what you
are doing affects the overall health of the area and you need to
respect the land as well as the animal you are hunting. I think
many hunters forget this, which has created struggles now, and
will create struggles for our future hunting generations.”
Organizations one can join and get involved with
to support these efforts are:
• Ducks Unlimited, Lancaster Chapter
• Susquehanna River Waterfowlers Association, Harrisburg, Pa
• Lancaster County Watershed/Lancaster County Conservation
District, Lancaster, Pa
• Donegal Fish and Conservation Association, Mount Joy, Pa
• Susquehanna River Basin Commission, Harrisburg, Pa
• Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Harrisburg, Pa
A great thing to remember is that we all, non-hunters and
hunters, have an effect on the wildlife in our area whether we
hunt, fish or ride bike down the trail. We all have responsibility
to care for the wildlife habitat in our area. The Susquehanna
is a great funnel to the Chesapeake Bay and much of what we
do here impacts the bay. We can all do our part in properly
disposing of trash and yard waste, as well as not dumping
in our sewers, which is a direct line to the river. We can all
make a difference and awareness is a key factor in starting
improvement along the Susquehanna.
Late season for duck begins November 14th and continues
through January 14th. In order to hunt, you must purchase a
duck and migratory bird stamp, which can be bought online at
the PA Game commission’s website, or any outdoor retail store
like Kinsey’s Outdoors, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, etc. A new
hunter must also successfully pass a hunter’s safety course and
be able to legally possess a firearm prior to purchasing a license.
If interested in hunting, please go to the PA Game
Commission’s website at http://www.portal.state.pa.us/
portal/server.pt/community/pgc/9106 to learn more.

Community Volunteer Spotlight
In this edition of the Marietta Traveler,
we are spotlighting Mr. David White, who
has an admirable history of communitycentered volunteering. For Dave, the
passion to volunteer has long been a
part of his life and stems, in part, from
his roots as a third generation Marietta
resident. Having grown up in Irishtown
(i.e. the western portion of Marietta),
Dave spent his formative years in
Marietta traveling between the homes of
his parents and grandparents, who lived
just a block apart. As a young man, Dave’s
passion for Marietta and its unique sense
of place was ignited during his visits to
a local neighbor’s house - the Libhart
family. Mrs. Emily Libhart was wellknown for her baking skills and would
invite Dave over for pie. The two would sit
and talk about the beauty of Marietta’s
historic architecture, its history, and its
contributions to the region. Through the
course of such conversations, Mrs. Libhart
would challenge Dave with the question
“What are we going to do to save these
beautiful buildings and our history?”
In 1965, at 18 years of age, Dave took
action on Mrs. Libhart’s challenge and
united with several other residents
to form a work group that eventually
became Marietta Restoration Associates
(MRA). From its humble beginnings,
MRA grew to become one of the premier
drivers of economic stimulus and historic
preservation in Marietta. In the 1980s,
when Dave was serving as President of
MRA, as well as President of Marietta
Borough Council and the Marietta
4
Columbia Economic Development
Corporation, he leveraged the synergies
of the groups by working with other
impassioned community volunteers
to execute key land purchases through
grants from the Lancaster County
Redevelopment Authority. Those key
land purchases included the riverfront
land parcels which today serve as the
foundation for the developing Northwest
Lancaster County River Trail.
During Dave’s involvement, MRA and
Marietta Borough executed other highly
important projects that contributed
to Marietta’s deep character of today,
including the beautiful curbing on Front
Street, which was crafted from stone
from the Wrightsville quarry to match
the historic stone that existed on Front
Street, and the widening and paving
of Front street, which heretofore had
existed as a one lane thoroughfare with
an abandoned rail line on the street.
Additionally, the Union Meeting House
was being considered for demolition
during at one time, but through the
actions of Dave and other volunteers,
it was instead restored to its original
appearance inside and out. The history
of the Union Meeting house is significant,
insofar as every faith in Marietta used this
building prior to having its own property,
each took turns using the building to
host religious services.
Dave had this say about the next few
years for the MRA:
“I want to help people recognize
Dave White
that you don’t have to live in a historic
house to appreciate old houses or
the unique charm of Marietta. As a
community, we need to work together
to preserve Marietta’s safe, tranquil,
and aesthetically-pleasing character. If
we don’t work to preserve it, it will be
gone. Over the next 5 years, MRA can
again be a leading force to save what
we have in Marietta and move it forward
to a higher level of sustainability. By
balancing responsible adaptive reuse
and preservation of Marietta’s assets
to entice enough growth so that the
town can support itself, we can preserve
Marietta’s unique sense of place and
continue to make it a community where
people want to live.”
MRA and the Marietta community
thank you, Dave, for your years of service
to the community. Your dedication
to this town has made a difference in
Marietta, and we look forward to seeing
what great things lie ahead!
Note:  Dave credited numerous
individuals for their contributions to
all of the successes listed herein (too
many to name). “Thank you!” to all of you
who played a key role in MRA, Marietta
Borough, and the Marietta Columbia
EDC during the timeframe referenced!
If you know a community
volunteer that deserves recognition,
please let us know!

THE BOOK
NOOK
Crossing Open Ground
by Barry Lopez
Review by Chris Barton
Why do we read? For pleasure? To laugh? To cry? For inspiration?
To be challenged? To gain perspective? As a respite from reality, or to
be attuned to reality? The answer, quite possibly, is as varied as the
individual.
Perhaps my transition in life has caused me to begin rereading
books from my past, something I never before have done.
Additionally, reading aloud (the way in which my wife and I begin and
end our days) has brought to me a deeper appreciation of the books’
meaning and impact upon my life.
I am pleased to share with you a work of Barry Lopez’s, Crossing
Open Ground, a compilation of essays first published in 1988.
Barry Holstun Lopez has devoted his writing life to exploring the
complexities to be found at the human-natural world interface. He
wishes for us to move more closely toward a deeper understanding
of questions such as: What gifts does the natural world give us? What
is lost when we abuse this realm? What can we learn from our forebearers? Much more than descriptive nature writing, these fourteen
essays will bring to you knowledge, reasoned analysis, differing
points of view, reflective humor, heart-breaking sadness, a certain
spiritual peace, and hope that we can move toward being better.
Join Lopez as he revisits our ancestral past both very long ago, and
more recent. Walk with your children in the woods, bringing a new
awareness to their perspective. Gain a deeper appreciation of the
needs and agonies of scientific research. Consider the question of
‘borders’ in our most remote geography. Cry with me when confronted
with the inexplicable tragedy of death in nature, or the cruel, vicious,
death to beauty and culture wrought by human hands.
More eloquent than I, allow me to close with words of Lopez himself:
“The door that leads to the cathedral is marked by a hesitancy to
speak at all, rather to encourage a sharpness of the senses. If one
speaks it should only be to say, as well as one can, how wonderfully
this all fits together, to indicate what a long, fierce peace can derive
from this knowledge.”

TOKENS of HISTORY
The Oldie But Goodie
Written by Trevor Williams
What I’m about to convey to you I have been saving for last
because it’s honestly my favorite story for this year by far. As I had
stated in the beginning of the year, my goal for contributing to this
newsletter was to tour Marietta, looking for historically relevant
structures that have plaques associated with them. To recap the
year so far, I have written on three different buildings: the Duffy
Mansion, the Musselmann/Vesta Museum, and the Marietta
Theater. Finally, the place that, in my opinion, has them all beat is
the Old Town Hall.
In regards to Marietta, I feel that no other building has the
historical significance that the Old Town Hall (OTH) possesses
and I believe this for three reasons: 1) Old Town Hall served as
Marietta’s center of government and learning for over a century,
2) the building houses the clock tower and bell that keep time
throughout the town and is a constant part of Marietta local life,
and 3) the Old Town Hall serves as Marietta’s main museum and
boasts an array of local and national history that is sure to shock
not only those who visit this quiet little river town but even most
of the locals. So let’s begin…
Built in 1847, Old Town Hall was to serve as home to Marietta’s
governing body. Its predecessor in Center Square was becoming
too dilapidated and outworn (it was built on stilts, after all). The
first and second floors were owned by the Borough while the
third, oddly enough, was owned and maintained by the Sons of
Temperance. The second floor acted as a giant one room school
house, educating various locals of all ages with a giant potbellied
stove in the center of the room as its only heat source.
Originally OTH was built without the town clock, which was
purchased and erected six years later in 1853. A holding cell or
jail was dug out of the earth on the first floor, a veritable drunk
tank for the Scots-Irish blue collar after work, brawlers who were
probably thorns in the sides of the Sons of Temperance. The jail
is 12’x12’ with a brick floor
and stone walls. The only
way out of the pit was
with a ladder that would
be lowered to let out
anyone unlucky enough
to be thrown down there.
Though the discovery of
electricity had already
produced many inventions
by that time, the common
light bulb was still largely
unavailable to the general
public until around the
1880’s, making the cell a
dark and grave-like place.
Marietta’s clock tower,
erected in 1853, contained
a massive 1075lb brass bell
that was cast in London, England. The bell would toll to keep time
and signal fire, as well as toll for the deaths of those individuals
that were important to the community. Cori Rife, another regular
writer to The Marietta Traveler, enumerated on this great work of
art and technology in the January edition from this year. During
the celebration of Marietta’s Sesquicentennial celebration in
1962, the bell was sounded 150 times to announce Marietta’s
150th birthday.
Old Town Hall continued to house the central government body
for the borough until 1874. It was that year that Central Town Hall
was erected and the building was repurposed into a school. The
first floor housed grades 5 and 6, and helped to accommodate
the influx of kids in the main school house next door. By this time
the third floor no longer housed the Sons of Temperance, which
had passed out of existence by then. It now housed the Knights of
Pythias, a more liberal and relaxed brotherhood that were more
interested in bettering their fellow men and women through
education and the provision of services than controlling
Congress to further their objectives. Interesting to note, the
order of the Knights of Pythias still exist to this day and
are an international organization, though no longer
housed in OTH.
Now, here is my favorite part. By 1961, OTH no
longer served either the Knights of Pythias or
the school system. The Borough leaders were
thinking of demolishing the building, which
was all but abandoned, because of the
increasing amount of maintenance that
was required. The roof was an especial
sore point. A married couple, Miriam and
Harry Lenhert, offered to help preserve
and maintain the building at a rent cost
of $1.00/yr. OTH opened to the public
as a museum the following year. As a
curator of the museum, Miriam or “Mim”
maintained the historical collection that

Firefighters and Community
STEP UP to Face Pallet Fire
Written by Jenna Carroll
On Tuesday, August 25th at 4:30 a.m., West Market Street was
closed between Race Street and Decatur Street while firefighters
battled the blaze that overtook the 89,000 square foot, pallet
holding industrial space known as SK Pallet. The volunteers
eventually won, smothering the flames with faltering water
pressure and filling the early morning sky with billowing smoke.
When reading the news I found out that over 100 firefighters
from Lebanon, York, Dauphin, and Lancaster counties fought this
four-alarm fire. Nearly twenty tankers and a dozen engines were
sent to the scene, along with a myriad of rescue crews and medical
personnel. At one time, more than fifty firefighting units were
involved in fighting the blaze, according to Lancaster County 911,
and all units were filtering in and out of Marietta finding ways to
take out the fire.
The American Red Cross was also at the scene supporting
firefighters and other response teams with food, water, and any
kind of aid needed at the time. Local “Mariettians” were also
there in support of the firefighters and voiced it all over Facebook
mentioning their gratefulness for all the help from local and afar
firefighters throughout the Susquehanna Valley. If this pallet fire
would not have gotten the full attention it did, who knows what
homes or other buildings could have been compromised?
Local businesses in the
community also extended
help to the numerous
volunteers who battled this
fire. Nick’s Bistro on West
Market Street offered free
food and drink all day and
Marco’s Italian Restaurant
and Pizzeria offered lunch
and beverages to those
operating the fill site

business.
communities and support them as they support each and every
one of us. Most importantly, we must all remember that many
are volunteers and are doing this for free. That’s a huge sacrifice
to be on call all the time and react at any given second for our
protection.
Be sure to thank a
firefighter, policeman, or
any emergency responder
the next time you see them
and remember all they do
for you in time of crisis. Also
remember that the Pioneer
Fire Company, as well
as other fire companies,
need our support to
keep functioning in the
community, whether this
is becoming a part of their
team, volunteering for
your local fire company
at community events,
or making a monetary
donation. In an effort to
keep Marietta’s future
bright, we must remember
that we are all important in
making a difference!
It was unclear at the time
how this fire started, and
many response teams doubt
that any foul play occurred
due to the time of the
morning, and investigations
are still ongoing. But one

had built up over the years and organized various displays and
exhibits. Items on display ranged from Marietta’s hand operated
fire engine, the third oldest water pump used to fight fires in the
U.S., to an 84 pair shoe display representing the different styles of
men and women’s shoes as far back as 1790. Other rarities such
as various Civil War memorabilia, an old salute cannon, and a
stuffed bald eagle were also features for the museum. Trust me,
the list goes on and on and only grows over time as the museum
continued to acquire more historical artifacts that have both local
and national importance.
In 1987, after more than twenty years of custody and the death
of her husband the previous year, Miriam donated the museum to
the Marietta Restoration Association. Until then, the museum had
gone through very little repair and the MRA had taken the helm
and had quickly set to work to restore the building, launching an
in depth project known as the “Let’s Put a Lid on It” campaign.
Using funds that were attributed to the various fundraising events
hosted by the MRA, such as the upcoming and much anticipated
Candlelight Tour, the MRA was able to raise much of the funds
necessary to repair the major damage to the museum. The other
funding was provided as a grant from the county.
As of today, the Old Town Hall sits and continues to watch over
Marietta and its locals. Still acting as a museum and currently
curated by Ray McKeeby, the local town historian, OTH is still
available to those who are interested. I once was lucky enough
to be given a tour of the museum. It is part of the reason that
this article is my favorite, because out of the four different sites
that I have written on, this one I have seen the most. I was able
to see firsthand the jail cell on the ground floor, the local Native
American arrowhead collection, the authentic Civil War uniforms
and war documents. One of my favorite exhibits was the one
dedicated to Dr. H. M. Alexander, a 19th century Marietta physician
who played a major role in developing the world’s first vaccines for
rabies and smallpox. I even had the honor of being in the belfry,
watching the wheels, cogs, and other pieces of the functioning
assembly turn as the clock chimed the 11th hour of the day. Truly
it was an amazing day.
The complete refurbishing of Old Town Hall has yet to be
completed. The good fight continues as those of us who are
interested continue to do as we must to preserve this local and
national treasure. As of right now, only the first floor is truly
show ready for the public. If you do feel like contributing in
any way, aside from participating in the yearly fund raising
events, please contact the MRA. The information in this article
was provided either by “The Scoop on Marietta: A Small River
Town” by Lyn Baker Alarie or Wikipedia: Sons of Temperance and
Knights of Pythias information. As always, thank you for reading
and Happy Holidays!
