Carlisle sits in the Cumberland Valley of south-central Pennsylvania, where Appalachian ridges frame a broad agricultural lowland. The county seat has long been a regional centre for education and military affairs. Dickinson College, founded in 1783, lends the town centre a collegiate character, while Carlisle Barracks has been home to the U.S. Army War College since 1901. Downtown is arranged around Carlisle’s public square, with historic commercial buildings, local shops and restaurants. The Carlisle Fairgrounds are also known for major collector-car events.
