This is the kind of outing that turns a simple Friday into a story worth sharing.

?️ Broad Street Market: History, Flavor & Community
Just three blocks from the Capitol, the Broad Street Market has been feeding Harrisburg since 1860—originally serving Union soldiers at nearby Camp Curtin. Today, it remains a vibrant hub of local culture, small businesses, and culinary treasures.
