Arts Council President’s Message”
Our summer Calendar of Events this year has taken a slightly different format.
We have eliminated repetitive listing of schedules to reduce our printing cost.
Rest assured, we have not eliminated any pertinent information for the Gretna Summer experience. Many thanks to Deborah Hurst, Janice Balmer and the entire Arts Council for their dedication and hard work on this project. Enjoy the summer! Gretna, thank goodness, does not need a bailout when it comes to fun things to do Thanks to all the advertisers and sponsors including the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Have a fun season.

Introduction to Mount Gretna
Welcome!
If you are visiting Mt. Gretna for the first time, you will find a special community. The architecture varies from turn-of-the-century cottages to beautiful modern homes. The landscape is enchanting: gentle hills, tree-lined roads and trails, a lake and stream.
Throughout the summer, cultural activities flourish. Whether it’s art, music, theater, crafts, religion, or literature, Mt. Gretna has it!
Despite its small geographic area, Mt. Gretna has five distinct areas with their own governing bodies: Mt. Gretna Borough & Pennsylvania Chautauqua, Mt. Gretna Campmeeting Association, Mt. Gretna Heights, Conewago Hill, and Timber Hills. There are also several independent organizations that provide summer activities and events.
We hope you enjoy all that Mt. Gretna has to offer!
Pennsylvania Chautauqua
Since the Pennsylvania Chautauqua’s founding in 1892, its summer activities have been an integral part of Mount Gretna summers. In keeping with its Mission to promote a program of the arts, religion, culture and recreation, the Pennsylvania Chautauqua offers a wide variety of summer activities; book reviews, art & craft lessons, Sunday worship services, lectures and presentations, organ recitals, musical concert, Outdoor Art Show, theatre, nature walks, and travelogues. The Cicada Festival is dedicated to providing family entertainment at family prices and much more! Summer in Mount Gretna is magic for young and old alike.
Borough of Mount Gretna
The Mount Gretna Borough is the municipal governing body covering the same
geographical area as the Pennsylvania Chautauqua. The Borough provides civil services for homeowners in this area of Mount Gretna, plus some contracted services for other areas of Mount Gretna. Responsibilities of the Borough include public streets, lighting, trash collection and recycling, leaf removal, police services, snow removal and public ordinances. Borough maintenance personnel also provide a wide range of contracted services for the Chautauqua and for some other areas in the community.
The Borough established the Water & Sewer Authority, a separate entity that is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the water and sewer systems, and for the sewage plant to the west of Mount Gretna.
Mt. Gretna Campmeeting Association
The Mt. Gretna Campmeeting Association originated in 1892 as a tent site in the Mt. Gretna pine forest, grouped around a central meeting area for summer religious services. Soon thereafter the tents were replaced by closely packed “gingerbread” style cottages, and the meeting area became the site for the Tabernacle – one of the two unique outdoor circular auditoriums built in Mt. Gretna during the late 1800s.
Today, many of the homes in the Campmeeting section of Mt. Gretna retain the heritage and appearance of the original cottages of a hundred years ago. The Tabernacle, the only remaining original auditorium structure in Mt. Gretna, continues to be the focal point for a variety of cultural and worship activities during the summer months.
Everyone is welcome to the Campmeeting, to participate in our activities and events, to worship, and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings under many of the same pine trees enjoyed by our summer visitors a hundred years ago!
Mt. Gretna Heights
Shortly after the turn of the century, Abraham Kauffman purchased a tract of land to the east of the Campmeeting Association. He quickly established a considerable commercial-resort complex, including a general store (which included a bakery and an ice cream parlor), a three-story hotel, an icehouse, and a small mansion. Today the Kauffman mansion is the Mt. Gretna Inn bed and breakfast. Additional lands to the east were purchased and developed into residential cottages. Today, the former “Kauffman Heights” residential area is known as “the Heights.”
Conewago Hill
In 1909 the majestic, five-story, 125 room, Conewago Hotel was built on the western slope overlooking Mt. Gretna’s Lake Conewago. The hotel was impressive - a two-story kitchen, with an orchestra accompanied dining room; modern conveniences such as running hot and cold water in each room, electric and gas lights, and telephone service; chefs from New York; a grand open staircase in the lobby; pool rooms, billiard tables, and bowling alleys in the basement; and of course, a gorgeous view of the Lake from the spacious verandah.
Unfortunately, the stock market crash of October 1929, and the ensuing depression that lasted through World War II, led to the closing of the Conewago Hotel. Today, the hotel grounds are now the site of the lovely Conewago Hills residential homes, and many of these homes enjoy that same gorgeous view of the Lake.
Timber Hills
North of the Mt. Gretna Conewago Lake is a tract of land once used by the Pennsylvania National Guard for summer military exercises, and for mobilization of Pennsylvania forces starting with the Spanish American War in 1898. Today much of the grounds are the site for residential homes, and the Timbers Dinner Theater and Restaurant sits on the spot formerly occupied by the Commanding General of the 28th Division and his staff.
