Chambersburg Fountain

The picturesque fountain in the heart of Chambersburg was dedicated on July  17,  1878, in tribute to Union soldiers from Franklin County who had served in the Civil War. The Rev. J. Agnew Crawford, pastor of Falling Spring Presbyterian Church, gave the benediction at the original dedication on July 17, 1878, which was attended by 15,000 people on a 94-degree day. The Union soldier statue looks south, symbolically guarding the town from Rebel soldiers. The cast iron fountain is 26 feet tall, with a basin that is 30 feet in diameter. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
