Cumberland Valley Visitors Center

While here, make your first stop at the Cumberland Valley Visitors Center. Located adjacent to History on High-The Shop in historic downtown Carlisle, the Visitors Center offers brochures, maps, and guides to help you uncover the exciting, charming, and authentic experiences that Cumberland Valley has to offer.

While at the Visitors Center, get your first taste of why the Cumberland Valley has been consistently voted one of the Top 10 towns in America for craft lovers by American Craft Week. At History on High, you can shop from a selection of locally-made artwork and artisan crafts unique to the area, including paintings, fine jewelry, textiles, pottery, metalwork, wood carvings, clothing, and food items. The Shop also stocks a collection of published works (books, pamphlets, etc.) about the county's 250+ year history as well as a number of reproduction photographs.

After your stop at the Visitors Center, you are in the heart of downtown Carlisle so head out the front door, where you'll find restaurants, shops, breweries, and activities all within walking distance. And don't forget to walk across the parking lot and tour the museum located inside the Cumberland County Historical Society. Admission is free.
