Cumberland Valley Things to Do - BHHS Homesale Realty

Are you a history buff, culture maven, fitness fanatic, or all of the above? Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it in the Cumberland Valley. Our real estate agents share five of their favorite activities that are just minutes from Harrisburg homes for sale.

  1. Appalachian Trail Museum - 1120 Pine Grove Rd., Gardners, PA 17324
    Cumberland Valley is such a spectacular area for hiking that it's also the site of the only museum in the country dedicated to the activity. The Appalachian Trail Museum has a mission to share the history of the iconic hiking route, along with stories of those who have traveled along it. In 2016, the museum opened a children's section that includes a mini-version of the trail with educational interactive features. Hours are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and admission is free, but donations are welcome.

  2. Civil War Tour - 33 W. High St., Carlisle, PA 17013
    Significant events of the Civil War played out right around Carlisle homes for sale. Take the self-guided Civil War Tour to learn how history shaped this area. Learn how the Confederate infantry occupied Dickinson College, whose students were divided in their loyalties, and view the scars left behind from artillery shells that hit the Cumberland County Courthouse. Stop in at the Cumberland Valley Visitors Center for information on this and other local self-guided tours.

  3. Meadowbrooke Gourds - 125 Potato Rd., Carlisle, PA 17015
    When you think about works of art, produce probably isn't what comes to mind. Gain a new perspective on creativity with a visit to Meadowbrooke Gourds. When founder Ben Bear applied his carpentry background to gooseneck gourds, he realized people were more interested in them as craft items. In addition to selling the beautiful products created by himself and his team, Ben shares his knowledge with others through classes and DIY kits. Meadowbrooke Gourds is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

  4. Cumberland Valley Rail Trail - 23 McFarland St., Newville, PA 17241
    The Cumberland Valley Railroad played an integral role in the economic development of the area near Newville homes for sale. One of its most treasured legacies is the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail, which provides a scenic route for walkers, hikers, bicyclists, and horseback riders, as well as leashed dogs. Extending 13 miles from Newville to Shippensburg, the trail includes interpretive signs highlighting agricultural and Civil War points of interest and heritage. Challenge the kids to see how many different types of birds they can spot along the way.

  5. The Playhouse at Allenberry - 1559 Boiling Springs Rd., Boiling Springs, PA 17007
    John Travolta and Shirley Jones are just two of the notable entertainers who have trod the boards at the Playhouse at Allenberry. Situated in the Allenberry Resort, not far from Boiling Springs homes for sale, the theater opened in 1949. Renovations in 2017 retained the charm of the original playhouse while incorporating modern upgrades. Upcoming shows include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (9/3-9/19), Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery (10/15-10/24), and Elf: The Musical (12/3-12/19). Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for kids and students.

It doesn't get any better than living in the Cumberland Valley. Need experienced help buying or selling a home? Contact us at BHHS Homesale Realty for cheerful and dedicated assistance.
