Poorman's Spring


 When the Harrisburgers, who are sole owners of the place, sought for some secluded spot where they might erect a lodge and woo the Sylvan Gods, they wisely secured the old homestead at Poorman's Spring, the tract comprising  about sixty acres of timber and cleared land.

"When the Harrisburgers, who are sole owners of the place, sought for some secluded spot where they might erect a lodge and woo the Sylvan Gods, they wisely secured the old homestead at Poorman's Spring, the tract comprising about sixty acres of timber and cleared land."
"The platform on which you stand , in expectation of what may next follow, is elevated about ten feet, and just as you are about descending the steps leading to the foot bridge crossing the canal, you are met by a committee from the popular Fishing Club whose guest for the day you must, and very willingly, concider yourself."
Poorman's Spring along the Juniata River near Iroquois Station of the PRR . . .long a public watering place . . . probably walled up when the canal was built in 1829.






Ken's Beach!! On the Blue Juniata River. in Pennsylvania. This a a real nice place. 


Poorman's Spring is a wonderful spot and should not be allowed to deteriorate. We need to get help restoring this historic site. The Game Commission objects to cleaning out the poison ivy and making the area look nice. This is too nice a place to sacrifice. I have found some of the history and put on this web page. http://www.crownover.org/bluejuniata.html I do have a little more history if anyone is interested. It is next to the Juniata River between Duncannon and Newport. It is between the railroad and the river and virtually useless to anyone, except for this historic spring. I hope someone can help. The Game Commission owns the land. When Joe Kresge showed the spring to someone from the Game Commission they told him he was not allowed to clean it up. In fact, they said there was a $100.00 per plant fine for killing poison ivy. If we could remove Game Commission control from that quarter acre or less, Joe and a few other people could clean it up. I would be glad to help do that. I have been trying to find some help. Any ideas? Thank you Jim Crownover
