Spanning 144 acres in Carlisle, Pennsylvania lies the private liberal arts college, Dickinson College. After its early beginnings as Carlisle Grammar School, the college was officially chartered on September 9, 1783. That date is significant because it happened just a few short days of the Treaty of Paris Signing, establishing it as the first college following the United States forming. Today, it is an institution of higher learning offering students a rich academic life complete with theatrical performances and sporting events with the hometown team the Dickinson Red Devils.
