A countryside base for exploring
Shady Spring Farm sits four miles south of McConnellsburg — the county seat of rural Fulton County in south-central Pennsylvania, home to more than 50,000 acres of State Forest. From the farm, you’re within easy reach of hiking, boating, and fishing; Civil War battlefields; caverns and scenic railroads; antique shops and country festivals.
