About Wernersville

Located right at the base of South Mountain in western Berks County, Wernersville is a quiet borough of around 2,800 residents. In the late 19th century, the Reading Railroad transformed the area into a popular mountain getaway, drawing visitors who came for the fresh air and hillside hotels like Galen Hall. Today, Wernersville is a peaceful residential community surrounded by wooded hills and historic properties dating back to its resort era.
