Chambersburg, PA

Chambersburg is a Franklin County borough in Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley, close to the north-south routes that once linked the valley toward the Potomac River. Traders, hunters, and warriors used the old Virginia path through this region long before modern roads, and the surrounding countryside still has a strong farming presence, including Amish and Mennonite families. Chambersburg feels like a county-seat town with layers: Civil War history, downtown institutions, warehouses, farms, and a location that connects Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the Shenandoah Valley.
