Susquehanna River Art

Paul Niven


At the  March 20 CCASM meeting Paul Nevin talked about the petrogpyphs in a thirty mile stretch of the Lower Susquehanna River at three sites - Walnut Island, Safe Harbor, and Bald Friar.  Starting with the documentation of the petroglyphs in the 1800s up to present day, we learned about the differences of the rock art at these three locations as well as more detailed description of those at Safe Harbor.  




Paul Niven has been researching the petroglyphs on the lower Susquehanna River for over forty years.  He guides tours to view the rock art for Safe Harbor Petroglyphs Tours and has recently published a guidebook book about the petroglyphs.  You can learn more a out the tours and the book at safeharborpetroglyphs.com

Thanks to Jim for using his account to set up the Zoom meeting and to Peggy for providing the hot spot.  Paul Niven presented from Pennsylvania via Zoom.
