Mercersburg
Mercersburg is a Franklin County borough in the Conococheague Valley west of Chambersburg — anchored by Mercersburg Academy (the elite boarding school founded 1893), the James Buchanan birthplace, and historic Main Street. Local business mix runs through academy-adjacent services, downtown professional firms, hospitality serving prospective families and alumni weekends, family-run retail, trades supporting residential and the surrounding rural townships. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Franklin County operators.
