The NRR Millersburg Ferry Ride

Millersburg Ferry (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia):
"The Millersburg Ferry, also known as the Kramer-Crow Ferry, is the last operating ferry on the Susquehanna River. It crosses the river between Millersburg (Dauphin County) and Buffalo Township (Perry County), PA. The ferry was established in the early 1800s. The Millersburg Ferry crossing was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Its ferry boat is believed to be the last "wooden double stern-wheel paddle boat" to be operating in the United States. It is owned by the Millersburg Chamber of Commerce and operated by the Millersburg Ferryboat Association from May until October - as water levels permit."
