About Schellsburg

Tucked into western Bedford County, Schellsburg is a quiet borough of around 300 residents with deep roots along the historic Lincoln Highway. Founded in the early 1800s, the small community still showcases its heritage through well-kept 19th-century brick, stone, and log homes. Living here means enjoying a relaxed pace where quiet streets and scenic mountain scenery shape everyday life.

Outdoor recreation is right down the road thanks to Shawnee State Park, which borders the borough and offers plenty of hiking trails, fishing spots, and boating on Shawnee Lake. For groceries, dining, and local services, the historic town of Bedford is an easy nine-mile drive east along Route 30. Schellsburg makes an appealing spot for anyone seeking small-town charm and open space with convenient access to nearby essentials.
