Located on Front Street by the Lake in Boiling Springs is this
circa 1869 Victorian Home, which is one of the first homes in Boiling Springs.
The village is laced with history dating back to the 1700's.
The iron industry was the main reason for its growth. The Carlisle Iron Works,
one of the earliest blast furnaces in Pennsylvania was located near the springs.
The remains of the original blast furnace still stands in the public park. The village has many handsome homes, some fronting on the lake. In
1984, Boiling Springs was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The area is alive with activities. The lake and the crystal clear Yellow
Breeches creek are well stocked and are considered some of the best trout
fishing areas in the country. The nearby Yellow Breeches Fly Shop handles
fishing gear, locally tied fly's, clothing and gifts as well as dispensing
experienced tips for the novice or practiced fisherman. The famous Allenberry
Resort and Playhouse"on the Yellow Breeches" is just minutes away for an evening
of fine dining and entertainment.
Boiling Springs is located within one-half hour's drive to Gettysburg, one
hour's drive to Hershey, and approximately 11/2 hours from the Pennsylvania
Dutch Country in Lancaster County.
It is truly a beautiful spot for a pleasant visit. The ducks are famous for
nesting in local yards and marching their hatch to the lake in the Spring.
Caution "Duck Crossing" signs are posted throughout the village.
