We are always ready to host students and their parents who come to the area to visit and tour Mercersburg Academy. We understand that visiting a new school can be a tiring and sometimes stressful process. We make sure you have a relaxing place to stay between outings.
The Mercersburg Academy Chapel – In addition to the walking tour, no visit to Mercersburg would be complete without seeing the magnificent American Gothic Chapel on the campus of the Mercersburg Academy. Built between 1924 and 1926 and designed by one of America’s foremost architects, Ralph Adams Cram, the Academy Chapel contains exquisite stained glass windows and oak carvings. They bear the thistle and rose motifs as memorials to the men of Mercersburg Academy who lost their lives in World War I. Carillon recitals on the forty-nine bell carillon in Barker Tower are given weekly on Sundays at 3:00 P.M. when school is in session.
The James Buchanan Log Cabin – This log cabin was relocated to the campus of The Mercersburg Academy from nearby Stony Batter, the birthplace of James Buchanan, the fifteenth President of the United States, and the only President from Pennsylvania.
