\nYork countian Bonnie Sharp brought in this undated sales flier for the Conewago Inn, along with two other photos.
\nIn the first half of the 20th century, the inn received business from picnickers and swimmers at nearby Cold Springs Park<\/a> and Elm Beach.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s the remaining attraction in that area from a day when the banks of the Conewago were mobbed with excursionists… .<\/p>\n


\nBonnie Sharp noted the the telephone number, 24-R-6, and other quaint features that the flier touts.
\n“It’s just interesting, I thought,” she said.
