“Look Up, Look Out” Campaign Reimagines Harrisburg’s Lost Old Eighth Ward

A new campaign in Harrisburg is working to reconnect Pennsylvanians with a powerful—but largely erased—chapter of the capital city's history.

The “Look Up, Look Out” campaign seeks to reimagine Harrisburg’s Old Eighth Ward, a vibrant and diverse neighborhood that was demolished in the 1910s to make way for Capitol Park. The effort uses historical research and digital tools to draw connections between the once-thriving community and today’s cityscape of state offices and government workers.
