Carlisle, the county seat of Cumberland County, is located in south-central Pennsylvania, USA, just 30 minutes from the state capital, Harrisburg. Founded in 1751, the town is steeped in history and was an important military stronghold during the American Revolutionary War, with Carlisle Barracks being one of the oldest active military installations of the U.S. Army. Carlisle is also known for Dickinson College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1773 that has produced many outstanding individuals. The town's economy is diverse, encompassing education, healthcare, manufacturing and agriculture, and the rich surrounding farmland is known for its quality produce. The Carlisle Historic District preserves a large number of 18th- and 19th-century buildings, such as the Old Courthouse and St. John's Church, which appeal to history buffs. At the same time, its proximity to the Appalachian Mountains provides residents and visitors with an abundance of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing, making it a small town that blends history, culture and nature.
