The Keystone Theatre in Towanda was originally Hale’s Opera House, built in 1886. (July 1999 photo)

This July 1999 photo of the Susquehanna was taken 500 feet above the river at Marie Antoinette Lodge on Route 6. Refugees from the 1793 French Revolution settled near here in a community called Azilum, which was occupied for about ten years.

Nationwide, Route 6 passes though a variety of bucolic settings. Here is a July 1999 view of Route 6 swooping down into the Susquehanna Valley west of Towanda. (Obviously, having to take this photo was an “emergency.”)
