Adams County, Pennsylvania

Adams Location Map Pennsylvania

Adams County sits in south-central Pennsylvania, right on the Maryland border. It has a lot of history packed into its rolling hills and farmland.

Gettysburg, the county seat, was the site of a major Civil War battle. You can still visit the battlefield today. As such, the town is also filled with museums, historic sites, and guided tours.

Apples are big business here. In fact, the county produces tons of them each year. It’s beautiful in the fall when the orchards are full of ripe fruit. The Appalachian Trail cuts through part of the county too. Lots of hikers stop in the small towns to resupply.
