Let the people at Franklin County Visitors Bureau help you get the most out of your trip by answering your questions and recommending the hidden gems of Chambersburg. You can also take a walking tour of downtown, watch a video about the history of the town or buy souvenirs at their location. If you have a few hours to spare, get escorted through the dungeons and false fireplaces of Chambersburg’s 1818 Old Jail and Museum. This three floor jail is full of unexpected surprises like the gallows in the “exercise yards” and written mementos of past prisoners.
Step back into the 1920s by watching a performance downtown at the historic Capitol Theatre Center. This 850-seat community arts center hosts ballets, concerts, local kid’s drama groups and the occasional movie. Make sure to check out the theatre’s Moller Theater pipe organ while you are visiting!
If skydiving is still on your bucket list, the guys at the Chambersburg Skydiving Center would be happy to help you check it off. They offer a wide range of skydiving but you are more likely to be introduced to the sport attached to a trained instructor while free falling back to earth.
Unleash your competitive spirit at Cluggy’s Amusement Center. Cluggy’s has everything you expect and more: A 6,000-foot skate park, 16-foot half pipe, batting cages, go-karts, moon bounce and “Tunnels of Fun.” You might have trouble leaving this place; however, you still need the energy to explore the forests of Pennsylvania.
Mellow out from the fast-pace of Cluggy’s and enjoy the outdoors at Caledonia State Park in neighboring Fayetteville. The Appalachian Trail passes through this 1,130-acre park that abundance of recreational activities to entertain any outdoor-enthusiast.
