Harrisburg is rich with history, and if you haven't visited some of these important sites, be sure to check them out on Heritage Treasures Day.

Heritage Treasures Day is on Saturday, January 11th, and our real estate agents feel pretty lucky to be surrounded by Harrisburg's history around every corner. Heritage Treasures Day was created to raise awareness and celebrate the artifacts of our past, whether they be small or large.

Thankfully, the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office, part of the greater PA Historical and Museum Commission, have worked to ensure that Harrisburg's history is never forgotten. To preserve and restore sites throughout the city, these organizations have made every effort to extend the lives of the many buildings, structures, and landmarks throughout the city. We encourage you to stop and appreciate these historical sites around Harrisburg on Heritage Treasures Day.

  • John Harris-Simon Cameron Mansion — 219 S. Front St., Harrisburg, PA 17104
    Though built in 1766, the John Harris-Simon Cameron Mansion has undergone plenty of additions, renovations, and restorations that have showcased it with youthful beauty. It's now owned by the Historical Society of Dauphin County, which is pleased to provide tours of the mansion to showcase its diverse history before the historical society took ownership of it in 1941.


  • Pennsylvania State Capitol Building — N. 3rd & State St., Harrisburg, PA 17120
    A visit to the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building is a unique experience, as it allows you to visit a fixture of the past to observe lawmakers affecting change that will impact the Harrisburg of tomorrow. You can tour this National Historic Landmark and learn about its history in the interactive welcome center. The Capitol Preservation Committee continues to assist in the building's evolution, so it retains its century-old artistic elements.


  • Fort Hunter Mansion & Park — 5300 N. Front St., Harrisburg, PA 17110
    Even in 1725, the view from Fort Hunter Park has captivated anyone who gazed out at the Blue Mountains and Susquehanna River. This now private estate was once a fort in the French and Indian War. It was restored in the late 1780s as a frontier village then eventually turned into a museum in the 1950s. You can tour Fort Hunter, explore the exhibits in the museum, and enjoy the serenity of its 40-acres of open land.


  • Pennsylvania National Fire Museum — 1820 N. 4th St., Harrisburg, PA 17102
    Although the Pennsylvania National Fire Museum is housed in an old Victorian Firehouse from 1899, this museum includes fascinating exhibits that depict fire fighting from early colonial years up to today. Interesting artifacts like the 1792 hand pumper and Gamewell alarm system provide an interesting glimpse into the technology used to prevent and fight fires over the last few decades.


  • Market Street Bridge — Harrisburg, PA 17101
    If you've ever visited Harrisburg City Island, then you know Market Street Bridge offers one of the city's best views. Built just over a century ago, the Market Street Bridge has a pedestrian sidewalk where you can stop and view the Harrisburg skyline. With so much to do on City Island, every local and visitor to Harrisburg must take a walking trip across the landmark bridge to feel connected to the city in more ways than one.
