(Harold Ackerman)
Just west of Town Park on a hillside facing the Susquehanna River is the colonial homestead attributed to Bloomsburg's first settler, James McClure. This three-bay Federal-style clapboarded house with an attached log cabin may be the building that served as Fort McClure during the War of Independence.
