Susquehanna Log Boom
Six-mile series of piers, built by a company incorporated in 1846; used to collect and store logs during the spring log drives down the West Branch. Helped make Williamsport the world's lumber capital prior to 1900. Badly damaged in 1889 flood, the boom declined thereafter.
Marker is at the intersection of Montgomery Pike (U.S. 15) and Tallman Avenue, on the right when traveling west on Montgomery Pike.
