Mechanicsburg Wrench Drop

The result of an Eagle Scout project by Mechanicsburg Area School District graduate Sheldon Rodgers, this small town west of Harrisburg dropped its first wrench on New Year’s Eve in 2004. The galvanized steel wrench commemorates the borough’s founders — mechanics who settled in the area to make and repair wagons that were traveling west after crossing the Susquehanna River in the early 19th century. Mechanicsburg Wrench Drop has from the very beginning been a family affair. Because of that we have things scheduled that the entire family will enjoy. We have partnered with several local businesses and organizations to provide you with that special unforgettable night for you and your family.
