The Springfield House was built in 1847 and derives its name from Boalsburg's original name "Springfield". The Inn on Main Street is surrounded by quaint shops and historic homes. A restored 19th century tavern and a Seattle inspired seafood and beef house, both with award winning cuisine are only a few steps away. The graceful blend of Victorian and federal architecture, beautifully enhanced by its generously proportioned wrap-around porch, have made it one of the village's most treasured and frequently photographed homes. At the foot of Tussey Mountain, Boalsburg conveys that rare feeling that the passage of time has only served to enhance its distinctive ambiance. Driving into Boalsburg is literally stepping back in time, to the days in which most Americans lived in small villages and towns. Here you walk to the post office to pick up your mail, walk to the cafe for a bite of lunch, go ice skating in the nearby park, sit on the front porch and snooze. All within minutes of Penn State, sports, theatre, fine restaurants and distinctive shops. Step back to a more quiet and simple time.
