Boalsburg

Boalsburg, Pennsylvania is considered to be the birthplace of Memorial Day.  This charming and patriotic small town is still reminiscent of the early 19^th century, yet is located only five minutes from Penn State University.  Boalsburg has it all, charming hotel & bed & breakfast accommodations, casual and fine dining restaurants, and unique specialty shops, all with the added benefit of old-fashioned small town charm.

In addition to Boalsburg's lovely local Victorian style bed and breakfast accommodations, Boalsburg also boasts many historical and educational attractions, including the Columbus Chapel and Boal Mansion Museum and the Pennsylvania Military Museum 28^th Division Shrine. 

Each year, locals and tourists come together to participate in the traditional Memorial Day celebration.  This festival attracts nearly 25,000 visitors and includes a parade, a community walk to the cemetery, arts and crafts, military reenactments, and more.
