Great History

Early Inhabitants The early inhabitants of Franklin County date back to the Ice Age. Remnants of these prehistoric encampments surfaced near springs and streams and were excavated, revealing hunting artifacts and tools that date back to before the Paleo Period when mammoths and mastodons roamed the region.

Frontier In the 1700s, Franklin County was the frontier. Scots-Irish, German, and Welsh immigrants settled throughout Franklin County, establishing homesteads and hamlets. These immigrants were seeking freedom and opportunity and were drawn to Franklin County, which was reminiscent of their homelands and offered the natural resources needed to build a prosperous, new life.

Connections to the Past

Ebert Springs, south of Greencastle, dates back to the prehistoric era. The Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission named Ebert Springs an archaeological super site and efforts are underway to create an archaeological preserve and heritage park. Allison-Antrim Museum in Greencastle will house the collection of artifacts, some dating back 10,000 years. 4 │Great moments are waiting│www.ExploreFranklinCountyPA.com


Frontier Forts

Homes and settlements sprang up along the frontier of Franklin County and at first, relationships with the Native American Indians were friendly. Tension increased as more immigrants settled along the frontier of Franklin County, infringing on hunting lands and pushing the Native American Indians westward. Influences of the French-allied Indians added to the strain. The friendly relationship deteriorated, and settlers began building fortifications around their homes to protect themselves from attacks. Benjamin Chambers, founder of Chambersburg, constructed a fort around his home, gristmill and sawmill, which were located near the Conococheague Creek and Falling Spring. Surrounded by water on all three sides, Chambers Fort was 90-ft. wide by 300-ft. long and was defended by swivel cannons and blunderbusses.

Other private forts in Franklin County were: • • •

Fort Davis was built in about 1754 and was about 2 miles south of Claylick on the Welsh Run. It was a settler’s fort also used by the PA colonial militia. Fort McCord was built about 1755 and attacked by the Delaware tribesmen led by Chief Shingas in April 1756. Twenty-seven inhabitants were killed, scalped, or kidnapped. Today, the site is marked by a Celtic Cross near Edenville. Fort Morris was built in 1755 and was one of a line of frontier defenses erected to protect local settlers and garrison provincial troops. After a 2008 archaeological dig, Burd Street in Shippensburg was identified as the likely site of the fort. The location documented in journals of the period match the Burd Street site, plus more than 2800 artifacts were found, including a 12-lb. cannonball and flintlocks. Fort at Steele’s Meetinghouse was a log meetinghouse and church within a stockade and was located three miles east of Mercersburg along the West Branch of Conococheague Creek.

To explore fort sites in southern Franklin County, request Conococheague Institute's Biking and Driving Tour of French & Indian War Sites in Southwest Franklin County PA.

Native Americans of Frank lin County The first inhabitants of the Cumberland Valley were Native Americans. Tribes hunted in the area but did not have permanent settlements. They made temporary homes near streams and creeks and were hunters, gatherers, and foragers. The primary tribe of the region was the Lenni Lenape, often called the Delaware.

Protection! The Reason to The British built Fort Loudoun to protect settlers along the frontier in 1756 as the French & Indian War impacted the frontier of Franklin County. Fort Loudoun served the Forbes Expedition as it built the Forbes Road across southern Pennsylvania to facilitate travel and supply lines to Pittsburgh. Though the British outpost began as a source of protection for Franklin County’s frontier colonials, it was attacked by the people it was to protect for risking their safety. More than ten years before colonials confronted the British at Lexington, Massachusetts, James Smith and his men, called the Black Boys, would confront the British at Fort Loudoun, Pennsylvania. Trading companies motivated by a chance for profit brought in guns, gunpowder, hatchets and knives, and these ended up being used against settlers in the Indian attacks. Angry that the British would permit this dangerous trading, James Smith and the Black Boys decided to stop the trade of weapons to protect their homes and families. On March 5, 1765, Smith and the Black Boys stopped a pack horse caravan of eighty-one horses at both Mercersburg and McConnellsburg, cautioning the traders to not proceed with the illegal materials. The convoy did not heed the warning.

The next day, the Black Boys stopped the caravan at Sideling Hill and set fire to the contraband. The angry traders appealed to the British authorities at Fort Loudoun. The British arrested several citizens. In response, James Smith gathered 300 men and marched on the fort, where they captured enough men to exchange two British soldiers for each colonial. But, the British kept the weapons of the incarcerated men--a major offense to the frontiersmen, who depended on their rifles for hunting and protection. Over the next several months, the Black Boys continued to confront the traders and clash with the British at Fort Loudoun. It culminated on November 16, 1765, when James Smith and the Black Boys surrounded Fort Loudoun. The contingent grew to 100 men, firing on the fort throughout the night. The British surrendered. The weapons confiscated months earlier were returned, and Fort Loudoun was abandoned by the British in November 1765.

Build & Abandon Fort Loudoun Captives & Casualties

Enoch Brown

On July 26, 1764, four Delaware warriors massacred schoolmaster Enoch Brown and 11 students. Brown pleaded with the warriors to spare the children before being shot and scalp. The warriors then began to tomahawk and scalp the children. One student survived being scalped by dragging himself to a nearby spring after the attack. When the Warriors returned to their village and showed the scalps they had taken, they were rebuked as as cowards by an old Delaware chief. Enoch Brown and the school children were buried in a common grave. In 1885, the area was designated Enoch Brown Park. A memorial and park mark the site, on Grant Shook Road off PA Route 16.

Mary Jemison At the height of the French and Indian tensions, Mary Jemison and her family were captured by the Shawnee along Marsh Creek in the South Mountains. The raiding party with captives in town headed West toward Fort Duquesne in Pittsburgh. The group was too large and too slow and the local militia were closing ground. At nightfall Mary was separated from her family to continue the journey. The rest of the Jamison family were killed and scalped. Mary was purchased by members of The Seneca Tribe at Fort Duquesne. She was adopted by a Seneca family and named Dehgewanus, which means to falling voices. She lived the rest of her life with the Seneca, raising a family. She lived to be 90 years old.

Jean McCord Lowry Jean McCord Lowry was the sister of William McCord, who built Fort McCord and was married to John Lowry. When Indians attacked Fort McCord on April 1st 1756, she was in the fort stockade and the Indians set the fort afire. She tossed her three children out the second-floor window of her home to save their lives. They landed in the hands of an attacking Indian, who had just killed her husband. Jean was expecting another child and to save herself jumped out the window and was caught by Indians. She was taken by the Indians to Canada, held there, and worked in the household of the French governor. A devout Presbyterian, she held fast to her beliefs. Ultimately, she was taken to England and exchanged for French prisoners of war. She returned to America and was reunited with her children 8 years later when they were rescued by Pennsylvania frontiersmen.

James Smith James Smith, known for his role with the Black Boys and the surrender of Fort Loudon, was captured at age 18 by the Caughnawaga tribe, part of the Iroquois nation. Smith survived the gauntlet, a form of torture Indians subjected their captives, and adopted him into their tribe. He lived among the Indians and observed their methods of warfare. After five years, he escaped and returned to Franklin County, where he shared his knowledge of Indian warfare. The Black Boys, named because they would darken their faces just as the Indian warriors did before battle, used these methods in defending their frontier homes. Franklin County Visitors Guide│7

Mason-Dixon Survey The Penn family of Pennsylvania and the Calvert family of Maryland claimed ownership of the same land. Holding fast to the claims, the Penns and Calverts pleaded their cases in the court of England. To settle the dispute, the court ordered two surveyors and astronomers-- Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon--to establish the boundary between the two states. A marker was placed every mile and a larger crown stone every 5 miles. The crown stones, made from limestone and imported from England, show the Penn coat of arms on one side and on the other side the Calvert family coat of arms. Not only did Mason and Dixon’s surveying ensure that Greencastle and Philadelphia remained in Pennsylvania, but in future years the Mason-Dixon Line became commonly referred to as the line between the North and the South.

Whiskey Rebellion As the new president of the United States, George Washington faced the first test of the young nation’s power when farmers in western Pennsylvania, angered by the tax levied on grain alcohols, refused to pay the taxes and attacked tax collectors. The farmers used grain alcohol as a currency and the tax removed their profit. The federal government applied the tax dollars to the debt of the Revolutionary War. In July 1794, the whiskey tax issue came to a head when western PA Farmers attacked a federal marshal. President Washington called out the militia. This confrontation was known as the Whiskey Rebellion. On Washington’s trip to squelch the Rebellion, he spent the night at Morrow Tavern on South Main Street in Chambersburg. Many of Franklin County farmers sympathized with their western neighbors as converting the grain to alcohol was a popular way to get more value for a corn or rye crop.

Birthplace of James Buchanan In 1791, James Buchanan, who would become the 15th president of the United States, was born in a log cabin about 2.5 miles west of Mercersburg at Stony Batter, a trading post operated by Buchanan’s father. When Buchanan was 5 years old, the family moved to Mercersburg. They lived on the Main Street and operated a general store in the building that is the present-day James Buchanan Pub and Restaurant. Across the street is the home of Harriet Lane, Buchanan’s niece, who served as the Mistress of the White House during Buchanan’s presidency. To commemorate her uncle, Harriet Lane set aside funds to create the 600-lb. pyramid monument at the presidential birthplace and a memorial at Meridian Park in Washington DC.

Rose Rent Religion was very important to all the settlers that came to Franklin County. Benjamin Chambers, founder of Chambersburg, recognized the influential role religion played in the community. He set aside three plots of land for three congregations in Chambersburg - Falling Spring Presbyterian, First Lutheran and Zion Reformed. In return for the land, Chambers requested that each congregation would pay a yearly rent of one rose to a descendant of the Chambers family. All three congregations continue today and honor the tradition of the Rose Rent.

Trail to Freedom:

The Underground Railroad in Franklin County Franklin County played an important role in the passage to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Its location just north of the Mason-Dixon Line signaled escaping slaves entry to the north, and the mountainous terrain afforded numerous hiding places in caves and wooded areas. Chambersburg, Greencastle, and Mercersburg had substantial free black populations, and by 1860, Franklin County had the fifth largest black population.

Equality, Abolition & Underground Railroad in Franklin County It was no mistake that radical abolitionist John Brown selected Chambersburg as his supply base and staging area for his raid on Harpers Ferry. Chambersburg had excellent access by rail, was located in the north, yet was still close enough to the South for Brown to deploy his attack. In the summer of 1859, Brown and several of his associates stayed at 255 East King Street in Chambersburg, the Boarding House of Mary Ritner. Brown assumed the identity of Isaac Smith owner of a mining operation. Under this guise, Brown was able to receive the heavy shipments of weapons for his planned takeover of the Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. During his stay in Chambersburg, Brown met with abolitionists including the famous anti-slavery author and lecturer Frederick Douglass. Even though Douglas was opposed to Brown’s plan to create a slave uprising, he met with Brown at an old stone quarry outside of Chambersburg in August 1859. Brown was unable to convince Douglass to join the raid on Harpers Ferry. Brown sent the weapons that he had been stockpiling in Chambersburg to the Kennedy Farm, just over the Maryland border. On Sunday evening, October 16, 1859, Brown and 21 of his supporters slipped into Harpers Ferry. They seized the federal Arsenal, killed seven men and injured about a dozen more. When news of the attack reached Richmond, the US Marines rushed to Harpers Ferry to regain the arsenal. Under fire, Brown and his men barricaded themselves in a small brick building and refused to surrender. Finally, a company of Marines, commanded by Colonel Robert E Lee, stormed the building and captured Brown and his men. John Brown was tried and found guilty of murder, treason, and inciting a slave insurrection. He was hanged along with nine of his followers on December 2, 1859 in Charlestown.

Chambersburg Underground Railroad Activity A historic marker on Memorial Square marks the Underground Railroad activity of Chambersburg, where many free blacks participated in the Underground Railroad. The majority of the African American population was concentrated in the South Ward. Henry Watson a local barber and Joseph Winters an inventor and author were two known agents of the Underground Railroad. In addition, Abrahm and Mary Ritner, who resided on King Street were abolitionists, supporting Underground Railroad activity. Abrahm was a conductor on the Cumberland Valley Railroad and his father was the abolitionist PA Governor, Joseph Ritner. Abram was believed to have secreted escaping slaves on the Cumberland Valley Railroad as it moved North through Pennsylvania. After Abrahm’s death, Mary operated a boarding house, where John Brown and his men stayed in the summer leading up to the 1859 Raid on Harpers Ferry.


“A hazardous area of 100 miles which contained the most secretive, tangled lines of the Underground Railroad.” --Statement about Franklin County by Charles Blockson, well-known author, historian, and contemporary champion of Underground Railroad history

Mercersburg Escape Routes The Mercersburg African American population was the largest in Franklin County. Just eight miles over the Mason-Dixon Line, Mercersburg offered many escape routes that were former Native American pathways. Escaping slaves followed the Warm Springs Indian Trail, which parallels PA 75, in Mercersburg. From here, escaping slaves would travel to Chambersburg to the safe houses along the current Route 30, and then on to Shippensburg along present-day Route 11. From Shippensburg escapees made their way to Carlisle, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, into New York State, and on to freedom in Canada. In the 1820s, African Americans begin to settle long Fayette Street in Mercersburg. The Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, believed to be part of the Underground Railroad, was located in this neighborhood, as is the Zion Union Cemetery where numerous U.S. Colored Troops are buried.

Greencastle Underground Railroad Connections: The Anderson Family Located approximately three miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line near Greencastle, the farmhouse of freedman Timothy Anderson was a safe house on the Underground Railroad in the years before and during the Civil War. Matthew Anderson (1845-1928), son of Timothy, heard stories told by freedom seekers hidden in his family home and wrote about this experience in his biography, stating, “ Among the earliest impressions made upon my childish mind were the tales of horror about the South told by the fleeing fugitive as he lay in the secret enclosure of my father’s house where he was concealed. “ Matthew Anderson went on to attend Iberia and Oberlin College and attained a Masters of Divinity from Princeton. In 1880, Matthew married Caroline Still, the daughter of William Still , Philadelphia Vigilance Committee leader and Underground Railroad activist. By the late 19th century, Matthew established religious, vocational training, and banking institutions that continue today. Brother Timothy Anderson Jr. became a sergeant in the U.S. Colored Troops.

Frederick Douglass in Chambersburg

In August 1859, when abolitionist Frederick Douglass came to Chambersburg for his secret meeting with John Brown, townspeople recognized him and pressed him to give a speech. This speech was given in a building on the square called the Franklin Repository, since burned in the 1864 Civil War burning of Chambersburg. The site is adjacent to the 1865 Franklin County Courthouse.

Underground Railroad of South Mountain Franklin County offered a number of entry points as well as the natural protection of mountains, forests, and caves. The Jacob Shockey farm, near Rouzerville close to the Maryland line, was at the foot of the South Mountain. The forest sheltered fugitives as they made their way to the Shockey Farm. Under cover of darkness, Shockey would guide escaped slaves eight miles to the Hiram Wertz farm, near Quincy. From the Wertz Farm, escapees traveled another eight miles to an African-American

community near Thaddeus Stevens Ironworks. Today the route parallels PA 997. The community sometimes called Africa, was the third largest African American population in Franklin County in 1850. The South Mountain escape route is the topic of a short film called Road to Freedom Underground Railroad in South Mountain, which can be viewed on YouTube.

Civil War & News of the seizure of Fort Sumter came by telegram to Franklin County on April 12, 1861 and was followed by a message that President Lincoln was seeking 75,000 men to serve for three months to quell the rebellion. By early June, 20,000 men were trained and staged from Chambersburg. War had come to Franklin County. Confederate general Jeb Stuart’s seized horses, food ammunition, and hostages in Mercersburg. The Confederates continued on to Chambersburg, taking more horses, cutting the telegraph wires, and burning therailroad shops. A key objective of the Confederate mission was to burn the railroad bridge, near Scotland, but local residents convinced Confederates that the bridge was stone. It was not, and transportation via rail continued uninterrupted. Nonetheless, Stuart’s Raid was deemed a Confederate success. Shortly thereafter, President Lincoln dismissed General George McClellan from his command of the Union troops.

Monument to Corporal William Rihl

1863 was a year of destiny for the nation and Franklin County. In mid-June, more than 70,000 Confederate troops led by General Robert E. Lee entered Pennsylvania in what became known as the Gettysburg campaign. There were 20 military actions in Franklin County during the campaign. Corporal William Rihl of the first New York “Lincoln” Cavalry was killed in an ambush at Fleming Farm, near Greencastle. Rihl was the first Union soldier killed on Pennsylvania soil in the Civil War.

Franklin County Confederate Commander Robert E. Lee and 70,000 men camped in and around Chambersburg, planning to move towards Harrisburg. General A.P. Hill brought word of advancing Union troops, and Lee shifted directions, moving Confederate troops east toward Gettysburg, where Union troops stopped the Confederates from advancing further into the North.

June 26-30, 1863

July 4, 1863 A 17-mile train of wounded and dying men began to retreat through Franklin County.

The retreat from Gettysburg included the second largest battle in Pennsylvania, the Battle of Monterey Pass. Fought during a driving thunderstorm in the mountains east of Waynesboro throughout the late hours of July 4 and the early hours of July 5, the conflict involved 10,000 Confederate and Union soldiers.

July 4-5, 1863

July 30, 1864 Under order of General Jubal early, General John McCausland issued a ransom demand of $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in Yankee currency or Chambersburg would be burned.

Waters of

g n i h s i Trout F

Franklin County’s freestone’s streams are home to populations of wild Brown and Brook Trout. The Conococheague Creek has two branches. One branch has its source in the northwest corner of Franklin County. The East branch increases in width as it flows through Caledonia State Park and Michaux State Forest. The West Branch runs through the Buchanan State Forest. The shade of the forest and the many springs along the route keep the water cool. Eventually the course comes together near Greencastle PA, goes into Maryland and flows into the Potomac. There are pocket populations of wild brown trout all along both branches of the Conococheague Creek. The Conodoguinet Creek has its source in the western part of the county and flows into Letterkenny Reservoir and past Roxbury on the way to the Susquehanna River. There are several springs and spring creeks that flow into the Conodoguinet along its course. The shade of Buchanan State Forest helps to keep the water cool. There are pockets of wild trout and native brook trout all along this route. The Antietam Creek has two branches as well. The east branch has its source in the Waynesboro Reservoir. There are populations of wild native brook trout in the tributaries that feed the lake and just downstream from the reservoir. The west branch of the Antietam Creek has its source in the South Mountain region of Franklin County. There are pockets of wild rainbow brown and brook trout along its route. The two branches join north of the county’s border with Maryland and flow to the Potomac. There are several spring creeks within 25 miles of Chambersburg, and they are home to populations of wild rainbow and brown trout in Franklin County. The Falling Spring Branch is one of the most popular wild trout streams in the country. Presidents, senators, and other celebrities have fished these waters for more than a hundred years. Because they are more challenging to catch them stocked trout, there are several things that make wild trout special. They have a better sense of what is good cover and places to hide. They are extremely intelligent, having seen natural food all of their lives they know what is safe and what is not. Wild trout eat midges, leeches, other fish, mayfly nymphs, mayfly adults, bees, grasshoppers, crickets, crayfish and about anything else that crawls, flies, jumps, or swims.

Take A Hike...A Family Hike! For a family hike, picking up part of the Appalachian Trail in Franklin County is picturesque and educational. The AT actually passes through the open field where the playground equipment is at Caledonia and is near the Ramble Trail, which is a circular trail.

Once Caledonia State Park was the Ironworks of Thaddeus Stevens and part of the hike follows the millrace of the old furnace. It is about a 3 mile loop and dogs are allowed on a leash. The AT is blazed white and the Ramble Trail is blazed yellow.

Totem Pole Playhouse Franklin County’s Totem Pole Playhouse is one special spot almost hidden among the pine trees of Michaux. Conceived by the husband-and-wife team of John Putch and Jean Stapleton, Totem Pole got its start when summer theater was not nearly as rare as it is today. The beauty and peacefulness surrounding the playhouse is part of its personality. The setting inspired art and allowed actors to return to the stage for intimate, live performance. Through sixtysix seasons, Totem Pole has been guided by several able hands, and today, Rowan Joseph lends his service. No matter who is leading Totem Pole, one thing will not change. It is rooted, just like the trees, in inspiration and beauty.

Potato Lovers Wanted!

Franklin County is home to two potato-loving businesses, Bender Farms and Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe.

Bender Farms

Bender Farms, a hometown and regional favorite, has been growing Chambersburg potatoes since the early 1900s. Available year-round, these potatoes are grown in shaley loam soil, which potato lovers say gives Benders potatoes a buttery taste. A key to Benders potatoes’ flavor is freshness. A locally-grown product travels an average of 56 miles from farm to destination, according to the farm. Benders potatoes taste better because they haven’t been shipped in and out of warehouses.

Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe

Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe connects with potato lovers in a different way: potato rolls. These sweet, buttery, golden rolls come in all shapes and sizes: sandwich rolls, long rolls, dinner rolls, whole wheat potato bread, and cinnamon-raisin swirl potato bread, just to name a few. First made in the kitchen of Lloyd and Lois Martin in the 1950s, the business grew and they turned the family garage into a bakery. Today, the company ships potato rolls all over the world.

Filled French Toast by Martin’s Famous Pastry Martin’s Famous Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Potato Bread is the beginning of delicious French Toast. Gather these ingredients. 3 - Eggs 3/4 - Cup Whole Milk 1/4 - Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 8 - Slices Martin’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Potato Bread 4 - Ounces Cream Cheese, softened Handful Raisins 1 - Tablespoon Honey 1 - Teaspoon Butter, or as needed Mix the softened cream cheese with the honey, raisins and half the cinnamon. Spread the mixture on 4 slices of Martin’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Potato Bread and top each with one of the remaining slices of raisin bread. Beat the eggs and milk together. Melt the butter in the skillet. Dip each filled sandwich into the egg mixture and place in pan. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of each sandwich. Brown in the skillet and serve with butter, syrup, or fresh fruits.

Franklin County ranks #2 in Pennsylvania’s apple production and is part of the South Mountain Fruit Belt. Crisp, juicy apples and refreshing apple cider are favorites at roadside stands and orchards across the county.

Franklin County peaches are prized for eating, canning, and baking. Such a delicious reputation brings hundreds of visitors every year for the “Chambersburg Peach.” Some varieties of Franklin County peaches are still available until Labor Day. Eat them fresh, make preserves, can them in halves or slices, but don’t forget to slice a sweet, juicy one over a dish of vanilla ice cream--made with Franklin County milk and from one of the local creameries or dairies. Peaches and cream are pure, simple, and so delicious. Old Fash io Strawbe ned rry Prese rves
