Mechanicsburg is a lovely borough in eastern Cumberland County, located just half an hour from both Harrisburg's downtown district and the tourist attractions of resort town Hershey. The borough, which was once the home of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, serves as a great jumping-off point for exploring nearby attractions like Hersheypark, home to high-thrill roller coasters and water rides. Visitors can catch dirt track car races at the prestigious Williams Grove Speedway, showcasing races each Friday since 1939, or explore the gorgeous preserved historic buildings of the Mechanicsburg Museum, which displays information about the region's railroading history.
