Schaefferstown blends centuries-old heritage with everyday convenience. History comes to life through the interpretive programs and events of Historic Schaefferstown, including tours of the Alexander Schaeffer Farm, a National Historic Landmark, and the lovingly preserved Gemberling-Rex House and Thomas R. Brendle Museum. The result is a small community with an outsized cultural footprint in Lebanon County, where neighborhood streets and historic sites create a distinctive sense of place.
Families are served by the Eastern Lebanon County School District, where the ELCO School District emphasizes rigorous academics, arts, and athletics, and offers pathways to career training through the Lebanon County Career & Technology Center. With active parent groups and local youth sports, students find plenty of ways to get involved close to home.
Outdoor time is easy to find, from waterfowl migrations and miles of trails at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area to leisurely rides on the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail. Daily needs are nearby, while broader shopping, dining, and employers are a short drive in Lebanon, Lancaster, Reading, and Hershey. Healthcare is anchored by WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon, and community calendars bustle with heritage festivals, artisan fairs, and seasonal markets.
