Inscription:
“The Returned Soldier”  Dedicated May 30th 1928
In commemoration of the patriotic spirit, valor and heroism of the men and women of this community who served their country in war.

This lovely 20s-era bronze statue of a soldier rises from the corner of a small park adjacent to an elementary school and commemorates soldiers who have returned home from war.

Columbia (formerly Wright’s Ferry) is a fairly small, but historical, Pennsylvania town. It was surveyed and laid out in 1788 by Samuel Wright. Citizens renamed the town “Columbia” in 1789 with the hope of influencing the United States Congress to select it as the national capital (with the support of George Washington himself). When Congress voted in 1790, Columbia lost by just one vote. Later, it also narrowly lost its bid to become the capital of Pennsylvania.

Also in the area: Prudhomme’s Lost Cajun Kitchen is just a block from the statue and serves excellent food.

The National Clock & Watch Museum is a surprisingly interesting museum.

The Columbia Market House, including the Market House Dungeon, is worth a visit.

Enjoy exotic ice cream flavors at the Turkey Hill Experience.
