A few decades ago a small statue of liberty was erected in the middle of the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The statue sits on top of an old stone railroad bridge pillar. When it was first was erected it was made out of mini blinds and other items. It looked very cool from afar. People would stop their cars along the road to try to look at it. Fishermen who boat in the Susquehanna River often traveled over to it to get a better look.
Years later money was raised and a new statue (a better one) was erected to replace it. Locals in the area call her Lady Liberty. Over the years this roadside attraction has garnered a lot of attention by locals and travelers who are passing by. It’s really hard to see from the river bank…either side of the river. If you want a really good look at her you really need to take a boat over to see her. With that said, you can see her from afar if you use the zoom feature on your camera or binnoculars.
The above photograph is the best one that I was able to obtain while being on the Dauphin side (east shore) of the Susquehanna River. She’s located in the area called the Dauphin Narrows.
We always enjoy checking out various roadside attractions when we’re traveling. That’s one of the best things about traveling by car and taking a road trip across our great nation.
