We can sit and watch deer, wild turkey and an occasional fox in our own backyard. Walking trails around Peters Lake Park is a great way to get in some exercise while enjoying nature. Peters Township is filled with several parks, an amazing Recreational Center and several lakes. In fact, you can enjoy 'pick your own' services throughout the season with strawberries in the spring, followed by peaches and fresh flowers in the summer. In addition, this place is a haven for young families, offering apple and pumpkin picking, corn mazes, hayrides, a petting zoo, and much more. Throughout the season they offer seasonal produce of fresh daily picked fruits and vegetables at the farm as well as another large market located on Route 19.ĭuring the fall the farm is filled with end of summer produce and just about any kind of pumpkin or gourd you can think of. As a gardener, I always enjoy stopping by Simmons in the spring to visit their greenhouse. Today much of that farmland has been developed but, a few farms still exist. In 1950 the population was 3,004 and today is roughly 22,000.Īt one time Peters Township was all farmland. It remained a tiny rural community until the 1950s. Peters Township was incorporated in 1781 as one of the 13 original Townships of Washington County when it became part of Pennsylvania.

They are all very interesting and now I have a few new places in mind for future vacation spots. I think you will enjoy reading about the other hometowns at the bottom of this post.
