Shiremanstown, established in 1874, will be celebrating 150 years in 2024!

The long tongue twister word for this celebration is Sesquicentennial. We’ve been practicing saying that 5 times fast!

To provide Shiremanstown a top-notch celebration, one that pulls the past and present together,
the Shiremanstown Historical Society (SHS) and the Sesquicentennial Planning Committee (SPC) are beginning their fundraising efforts.

To look at the history of Shiremanstown, we must recognize the businesses that made an impact.
Many of our residents worked in or supported these businesses, creating lives and memories they cherish.

To be included in this historic event, please contact the Borough Secretary at 717-761-4169 or [email protected]
If you have a loved one or are aware of a citizen who served or continues to serve and Shiremanstown raised, this is a chance to allow the town to recognize their service as well.

SHIREMANSTOWN BOROUGH

Shiremanstown is a small community located twelve miles east of Carlisle and five miles west of Harrisburg.
It derives its name from Daniel Shireman (1753-1810), one of the early landowners and settlers of the land that made up most of the town.

est. 1874

My name is Tammie Dailey and I have been serving as the Mayor of Shiremanstown since April 2016.  Prior to being appointed Mayor, I had served on the Borough Council for over 10 years.  I have had the pleasure of living in the Borough since November 2002 with my husband Ed.  Shiremanstown is a great place to live, providing its residents with a small town feel while being close to shopping, outstanding restaurants and world-class healthcare facilities.  We are a part of the Mechanicsburg School District which provides our children with an excellent education.  We also have access to several superb private schools in the area.  Public transportation adds to the overall appeal of our centralized location, providing transportation to Harrisburg and other locations.

Rebates under this program will be issued for the preceding year’s property tax payments. Eligible residents may submit completed forms beginning July pt and must be submitted no later than December 31st.  Additional information on the program may be obtained by contacting your local tax collector, visiting the District’s website, or by contacting the School District Office at (717) 691- 4500.

The Vision

My vision for Shiremanstown has always been to make it a place where families want to live, raise their children and retire.  We are served by the Mechanicsburg School District and have many opportunities for post-secondary education, including Penn State Capital Campus, Harrisburg Area Community College, Central Pennsylvania College and Dickinson School of Law to name a few.

Medical Facilities

We are fortunate to have several outstanding medical facilities close by, including Pinnacle Health System, Penn State Hershey Medical Center, and Holy Spirit Hospital.  They offer full emergency and surgical capabilities, private rooms, and rehabilitation services.This sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisible

Places to Worship

Our borough is home to four churches to meet the spiritual needs of our residents: Bible Baptist Church, First Church of God, Saint John’s Lutheran Church and United Methodist Church, all of whom open their doors and their hearts to those who seek a place to worship.

Parks and Recs

We have a great Parks and Recreation Department that plans and sponsors numerous Borough events, including our Easter Egg Hunt, Movie Night in the Park, a Borough picnic at Manor Park (with free hotdogs), our Halloween Party, and our Christmas Tree Lighting.  These events provide Borough residents the opportunity to get together and to make new friends.

The Borough, SHS, and the Parks and Recreation Department are always looking for people to assist with community activities.  Please consider becoming a volunteer.  Your time and effort will go a long way to keeping our Borough a great place to live.This sentence is invisible

The Historical Society

The Shiremanstown Historical Society (“SHS”) is an active group in our town.  They provide us with a wealth of history while making our town a more beautiful place to live.  Last year SHS was able to collect donations from local businesses and not-for-profit groups and use those donations to purchase the Christmas wreaths that adorned the lamp posts in the Borough this past holiday season.  They are hoping to collect more donations this year to add more wreaths for the next Christmas season.  SHS did not stop with wreaths; they have also purchased flags and a solar-powered town clock that will be placed in front of our firehouse.  Please check their website for a listing of events.

Economic Development

Shiremanstown is a small town that welcomes businesses to be a part of our community.  We are in the process of introducing two-hour parking limitations in front of a few of our businesses to help make it easier for their clients to find parking in the borough.

Discover Shiremanstown-  walk through town and take time to appreciate our Memorial and Manor Parks.  Enjoy all that the Borough of Shiremanstown has to offer.  I am convinced that one day you will be just as proud as we are to live here.This sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisibleThis sentence is invisible
