Not much there. Small PX, Ok sized commsery and a ATM. A small subway inside the PX but not a whole lot more. Did not spend much time on the base.
Spring Carlisle show event was great this year, especially with the nice weather. Plenty of cars for sell. A little crowded, but a very good experience
The golf course at Carlisle Barracks is open all year and kept in great condition. Flat parkland course, par 72,it attracts a lot of walking golfers rather than carts. Equipment in the pro's shop is not subject to sales tax which is a saving on other outlets.
Wonderful educational opportunity for young and old alike. The museum affords one the opportunity to gain an appreciation for the dedication and sacrifice of those who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our liberty.
This is also the original Indian School where Jim Thorpe was educated. The Barracks date back to the 1700's and at least one building of that era remains. Today it is the site of the War College.
Attended a wedding reception here and had a great time.The facilty is clean,and the staff was eager to serve and provided great customer service.Food was good, as well as the bar.Interesting place, with a lot of history.Securty check in was part painless, just have your photo ID ready, and be patient as they need to do their job.All in all, a nice place to visit.
Great Socializing (Meeting People in Commisary and PX I don't even know and we talk like lost friends}
If in the neighborhood, visit the post and walk around and take in the history. It is small and flat and historic buildings have placards that detail their history. Carlisle was once an Indian School and the famous football player Jim Thorp attended school here.
Plenty of parking and places to visit. The hessian guardhouse was really nice to view especially if you're into colonial history. Watch your speed as you are on a base. Was very nice to enjoy getting to visit the carlisle indian school location as it was located here and the cemetary is at the back gate. Well maintained end and very special attraction.
From the French and Indian War to a former Revolutionary war post, once the home to the Carlisle Indian School and the continuing home to the Army War College since 1901, this little barracks has a ton of history attached- from Benjamin Franklin to Jim Thorpe's outstanding athletic development under coach Pop Warner, to graduating Dwight D Eisenhower and Omar Bradley from the War College. It's a beautiful barracks with a very storied history worth a visit. While in the area visit Army Heritage and Education Center nearby - it's a gem!
