What a great place to go during the christmas time. They have a train set up and up stairs has things set up, right now was the tree display. They have come a long way over the past year. Very kid friendly, kids can play in the bank vaults along with a movie explaining the history in this area

I totally recommend stopping in for a tour it’s a part of Chambersburg’s history. I also recommend coming in for the haunted jail in October.

Fresh bakery items being cooked right in front of you. Lots of other deli items also. As for the flea market side of the store, small, small, small selection but worth the look. I'd recommend for anyone visiting the area as donuts, pies, great the next day!
