Harris Township

The landscape around Harris Township is a broad limestone valley bordered by the ridge country of central Pennsylvania, which has shaped both its settlement pattern and its long-standing agricultural use. The township lies in the Nittany Valley southeast of State College, where Tussey Mountain rises along the southern edge and wooded slopes meet open fields and residential neighborhoods. Boalsburg, Harris Township’s historic community, retains a 19th-century village center and holds an annual Memorial Day celebration associated with a local remembrance tradition from 1864. The Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg interprets the service of Pennsylvanians in the armed forces.
