Transportation Facilities MILLERSBURG has made transportation history. As a gateway to the rich Lykens Valley coal region it became the western terminus of the Lykens Valley Railroad, completed in 1834, and the fourth railroad in the United States to transport anthracite coal. Millersburg also was the northern terminus of the canal connecting the Lykens Valley Railroad with the Pennsylvania canal at Clark's Ferry.

Canal boats, laden with coal or other freight, were taken in the Millersburg canal to the dam at Clark's Ferry, where thi3 canal joined the Pennsylvania canal connecting to the south with Harrisburg, Columbia and the Chesapeake Bay. The old canal basin or loading station at Millersburg had a capacity of more than 100 barges and there in the boat building yards were constructed many of the boats which for years operated up and public park and square, churches, schools and other public needs. His lots were sold for $33.33 each by lottery. The town was incorporated as a borough on August 25, 1849. The iree school system was adopted by the community in 1844.

Industrially, Millersburg ranks high in Dauphin County but its industries are more diversified than those of any other community in the county with the exception of Harrisburg. It is due to this diversity of industry that unemployment is virtually unknown and the community's growth has been unbroken by periods business depression and industrial retrogression. Industrial Products SHOES and steel products are the principal manufactures. Other manufactured articles produced are brooms, lumber products, flour, bricks, machinery, carpets and marble works. The Johnson-Baillie Shoe Company is the largest of the two shoe factories.

Several hundred men and women are employed in the plants of this company and of the Millersburg Shoe Company. Among the manufacturers of steel products are the W. L. Bru-baker Brothers, A. J.

A. G. Bashoar is president of the club. Another way in which the community is keeping abreast of the times is in the welfare service.

Public-spirited citizens with municipal aid have made possible the Millersburg Park, combining an athletic field, playground rnd general recreation center. The town also supports a community nurse and maintains a baby clinic, which closes its yearly celendar with a baby show and parade. the Susquehanna TraiL main motor highway north and south through the State by a steam ferry across the Susquehanna. Forming a strategic position in the highway system of the State, Millersburg is the center of toads entering from the main points of the compass. From the south, State Highway Route No.

1 connects the town with Harrisburg and the many highway routes centering there. It is the western terminus of the State highway through the Lykens and Williams Valleys and into Schuylkill and other counties to the east and northeast. Several roads lead from Millersburg through the Uniontown gap to Trevorton, Shamokin and points to the northeast. Eventually the direct route from Millersburg to Sunbury will be improved. Highway routes leading to the West are reached by the Millersburg ferry or the Clark's Ferry and Sunbury bridges.

Mecca of Motor Tourists ITS position as a highway center, its two modern hotels, its many scenic attractions and its ability to provide for the needs of the traveling public make the town the natural mecca for motor tourists. The "town of homes" is also a seat of fraternal activities, as early as 1840 the gregarious instinct of man was manifesting itself by this means among the townsmen.

A rolling valley stretching out from the two streams to the bases of the steep ridges which surround it on all sides, snugly but without crowding. And the whole panorama mountains, valley, and the banks of both streams densely wooded with the deep green of the pines and the pale greens of maples and oaks. That was the inspiring vista upon which Daniel Miller gazed in 1790 when he arrived at the juncture of the Wiconisco Creek with the Susquehanna River and which was later to serve us his inspiration for the founding of the beautiful and thriving Dauphin County town of Millersburg. Had he been an artist this fairyland would have been preserved by him as a masterpiece on canvass. Having been a pioneer and builder, he preserved it as the site of one of Pennsylvania's most picturesque and naturally beautiful towns.

Carefully Plotted Town A FEW years before Daniel Mil- ler and his brother, John Miller, arrived at what is notor Millersburg, Frances Jaques (Jacobs) and a small party of French Huguenots and Germans had settled along the Wiconisco Creek.
