Dickinson Township
Dickinson Township combines a rural setting with major interstate traffic in a way that reflects its position in Pennsylvania’s Cumberland Valley. Interstate 81 crosses the township as part of a principal north–south corridor linking Pennsylvania with Maryland and New York. Wooded roadside tracts and open land lie within a broad limestone valley between Appalachian ridges, while Carlisle is immediately to the east. The township takes its name from John Dickinson, a Pennsylvania statesman associated with the American Revolution. Nearby Carlisle is home to Dickinson College, founded in 1783, and Carlisle Barracks, which houses the U.S. Army War College.

Between open farmland and the wooded slopes of South Mountain, it occupies the transition from the broad valley to the Appalachian uplands. The township is named for John Dickinson, the Pennsylvania statesman associated with the American Revolution and author of Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania. Its dispersed farms, homes and small settlements reflect Cumberland County’s rural character, while the Appalachian Trail corridor and Pine Grove Furnace State Park lie nearby.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
