Market Square

Dauphin County · dedicated 1953 · S. Market Square (east side, near Market St.), Harrisburg

For over a century, farm produce was sold here in market sheds and from wagons at the curbs. The first sheds were built soon after the city was laid out in 1785; the last were removed in 1889. Many inns faced the Square.
