About Benson

If you are looking for Benson on a map, you will likely see it called Hollsopple, which is what most locals and the post office call this tiny Somerset County borough. Sitting along the banks of the Stonycreek River, it is home to fewer than two hundred residents who enjoy a quiet, unhurried pace of everyday living. The surrounding valley provides scenic wooded views and easy river access, while nearby roads make it a quick drive into Johnstown for shopping, dining, and work. It is a peaceful, relaxed community with plenty of small-town charm.
