Chambersburg, PA

united states

Chambersburg sits along Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley, about 50 miles from both Harrisburg and the Maryland border. US Route 30 crosses I-81 here, making it a natural stopping point between Philadelphia and western Pennsylvania. The town of 22,000 serves as Franklin County's seat, surrounded by farmland and gentle ridges. The 1842 courthouse downtown was rebuilt after Confederate troops burned the original during their 1864 raid.
