Bloomsburg Historic District

Bloomsburg Historic District is a neighborhood with buildings dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, arranged mainly along Main Street and nearby roads. The structures display a range of architectural styles that reflect the building trends of those periods.

The district formed and developed starting in the 1800s with buildings that reflect Columbia County's economic and social growth during that era. It received National Register status in 1983 to protect these structures for future generations.

The buildings here show how different generations chose to design their homes and shops, from simple to ornately decorated. You can still see people living and working inside these structures today, which gives the district its everyday character.

The neighborhood is easy to explore on foot, with clear streets and wide sidewalks that make it accessible to all visitors. The best way to experience it is to walk slowly along Main Street and side streets, taking in the details of the building facades.

The district is home to the Columbia County Civil War Memorial, which honors the region's role during the American Civil War. This notable landmark offers visitors a window into an important chapter of local history.
