Library

The Mount Gretna Community Library is housed in one of the oldest buildings owned by the Mount Gretna Campmeeting Association.

Originally, the building served as the Fire Department’s Engine House. In 1919, the building was turned over to the Ladies Civic Club to use as an art store—selling sewing, knitting, and crocheting supplies—and a library. Decades later, the building was home to a gift and antique shop.

Early Campmeeting maps show a building that could be the Engine House near the Tabernacle. However, the building clearly was moved to its current location on Glossbrenner Avenue although when that occurred is not known.

The Mount Gretna Community Library is operated by the Campmeeting Board of Managers’ Library Committee.

Heritage Park

Heritage Park, the location of the playground and community picnic grounds, is located in the Mt. Gretna Campmeeting along Rt. 117 and is entered from the parking lot off of 1st Street.

The playground is maintained by the Campmeeting for the use of all children from neighboring communities. There are restrooms in the park that are open during daylight hours year-round.

In addition to the playground facilities, a charcoal grill and picnic tables are available for your use.

The pavilion at Heritage Park is available for rent, current rentals are posted on our calendar visible on the "News and Events" page.
