It was great hosting young people from Chambersburg Area Middle School South’s student government at the Capitol recently.

The young men of Keystone Boys State recently visited the Capitol as part of the program. It was great visiting with Spencer Rajtik from Chambersburg and Benjamin Salsovic from Stroudsburg.

I recently presented a citation from the House of Representatives to the Franklin County Historical Society in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Old Jail. The jail was built in 1818 and survived the burning of Chambersburg by Confederate forces in 1863. The Old Jail complex consists of the original building erected in 1818, an annex built in 1880 and a yard enclosed by a 20-foot high wall.
