The volume contains newspaper clippings that recall the historic event known as the Burning of the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge. Some articles of interest portray historical occupations and the indentured servants that served in those occupations throughout Lancaster. There is also information on Robert Fulton and his birthplace located in Southern Lancaster County. The latter half of the scrapbook describes the history of Wheatland and James Buchanan. Several newspaper clippings reveal the development of Historic Wheatland and the excavation of the property. The articles also discuss the opening of the site to the public.
