Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania - 17007
Welcome to the picturesque village of Boiling
Springs. Beautiful scenery, fly fishing, the
oldest public pool in Cumberland County (Boiling
Springs Pool), quaint
Bed & Breakfasts, plus
theatre and local events.
Founded in
1845*, but settled prior to 1737, Boiling Springs is
a village that surrounds the Children's Lake, right
on the Appalachian Trail. The Memorial Clock
Tower, erected in 1956 and the Boiling Springs
(Grist) Mill,
on record as early as 1785, are two landmarks in the
village.
The mill is one of, if not the most
photographed building in the village.

Boiling Springs was also a site for the underground
railroad before the civil war, a tourist destination
in the early 1900's, a stop along the Appalachian
Trail. Now a location for small shops, art
galleries, cafe's and restaurants, recreation and
relaxation. Boiling Springs is a fantastic
community of individuals that are inspired to create
that small town feel and share it with anyone who
visits.
More articles and resources will be added to the
site, but for now take a look around and hopefully
you will find some information to help you plan your
visit. If you are around in the summertime, be
sure to stop by the
Boiling Springs Pool and say hello. My
name is Tom and I run this site and the pool for the
community (oh yeah... and to try and make a living).
