Mount Gretna is a unique and beautiful community. Originally established in the 1880s as a summer resort community, it soon became home to two institutions, the Mount Gretna Campmeeting, and the Pennsylvania Chautauqua, enriching the spiritual and cultural lives of their members.
Every summer, Mount Gretna hosts many special events, including a Bible Festival, an Art Show, theatrical and musical productions. However, many enjoy visiting Mount Gretna for the quieter pleasures of this unique community — the Jigger Shop, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor; canoeing on the lake, walking the quiet lanes lined with charming cottages nestled among the wooded hills.
