A recent trip to Columbia, Pennsylvania introduced me to a town with many well-preserved buildings. Above is Wright's Ferry (the original name of the town) Mansion, built in 1738. What you can't see in the picture is the exquisite interior, which is approriately furnished with many 18th century pieces which belonged to the Wright family (no photos allowed). Susanna Wright's father established a ferry across the Susquehanna River, which was once visible from the house. After her father's death, this enterprising woman raised silkworms (on her windowsill no less) and had a thriving business producing fine silk.
In 1788 Wright had the town laid out with 160 building lots, and named the town Columbia, in hopes that with George Washington's support, it would be named the nation's capital. It lost by one vote. Then it tried for the state capital, and again lost. To add insult to injury, it later lost out to Detroit for the center of the automotive industry. So if you visit the Lancaster area, skip the outlet stores and enjoy the ambiance of Columbia.

A most interesting place to visit in Lancaster County, PA is the National Clock and Watch Museum in Columbia. Run by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, the museum first opened in 1977 with about 1,000 items, but has expanded to over 12,000 items, from the most intricate pocket watches to magnificent granfather clocks and antique animated clocks.

A separate area features railroad watches from the long history of American railroads. Other specialized displays feature French clocks, German musical clocks, tower clocks, and American clocks from 1780 to 1880. The museum is recognized as the largest collection of clocks in North America.

The Watch and Clock Museum is located at 514 Poplar Street, Columbia, PA. You can get more information from their website. The clock tower can be seen for blocks around the museum neighborhood.
