“The Susquehanna Plays an Unsung Role in the Early Days of America”
The Millersville Area Historical Society invites the public to a free presentation titled “The Susquehanna Plays an Unsung Role in the Early Days of America” when it meets at 9 a.m. Saturday, January 10 (2026), in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive (doors open at 8:30 a.m. and lock at 9:15 a.m.).
The speaker will be Jim McClure, author and retired editor of the York Daily Record/Sunday News. His PowerPoint presentation, which ties in with America 250 themes, will explore how the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay played an unsung role during the nine months, 1777 to 1778, that Continental Congress set up shop in York County.
In York, the delegates did revolutionary things, adopting the Articles of Confederation and ratifying treaties with France. But the Susquehanna was never far from the minds of the 64 statesmen laboring in York. McClure will speak about the river and Congress as delegates made York their home before returning to Philadelphia in late-June 1778. A Q & A period will close the presentation.
McClure, a members of the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Hall of Fame, has written 10 books on York County history, among them his 2024 paperback, Never to be Forgotten: A History of York County, PA.
