Question and notes

Is this about the ferry boat or is it about the ferry crossing place? The article name, which is the same as the NRHP name, is unclear.
NRHP infobox for possible use here.

Thanks I moved it. Dincher (talk) 14:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Millersburg Ferry is also known as Kramer-Crow Ferry, or at least that is an alternate name given in the NRIS database. doncram (talk) 14:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's about the whole operation, the boats and the ferry, but the crossing is what makes it historic. Any help that you can provide with this article is most welcome. And thanks for the infobox!Dincher (talk) 14:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, see that u got that message quickly! Or, alternate infobox without the map (using NRHP2 and with locmapin field blanked out, rather than locmapin=Pennsylvania), and with architectural style = "no style listed" dropped. Infobox could also include a photo, of course. Have fun... doncram (talk) 14:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I am going to stick with the infobox with the pic and maps. I really like the infoboxes with pics and maps. Dincher (talk) 14:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
