About Addison

Addison is a tiny, peaceful borough tucked into southern Somerset County, Pennsylvania, just minutes from the Maryland border. Home to fewer than two hundred residents, this quiet community sits along historic U.S. Route 40, originally known as the National Road. Life here moves at a relaxed, rural pace, with beautiful rolling hills and easy access to outdoor recreation around the nearby Youghiogheny River Lake.

Petersburg Tollhouse

History runs deep here, anchored by the Old Petersburg Tollhouse, a preserved stone stop from the 1830s that once greeted westbound stagecoaches. Addison offers the quiet charm of a classic country crossroads, while Route 40 provides a direct link to neighboring towns for groceries, dining, and daily errands. It is a welcoming spot for anyone looking for quiet Laurel Highlands living with scenic countryside right outside the front door.
