Mount Gretna is a small Victorian community founded in the late 1800s as a summer resort. Initially the only way for residents to reach their cottages in the woods was to travel by train. Gretna was a stop along the Cornwall/Lebanon line. Our streets were footpaths until automobiles became the mode of travel. Many of the original cottages surround an open-air playhouse where numerous cultural events are held. Our quaint atmosphere attracts many visitors every summer for music, theater, a visit to the local ice cream shop, or just a walk in the woods and, of course, to the Art Show!
Mount Gretna is located six miles north of exit #266 of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and seven miles south of Lebanon, Pa.
