Franklin County
The Franklin County “Ikes” meet at our chapterhouse – our renovated red barn in Waltonian Meadows. Located two miles north of Chambersburg, our 23-acre property of forested and open fields has protected riparian habitat bordering the East Branch of the Conococheague Creek. While our small group of conservation-minded sportsmen and women come from diverse backgrounds, we share a common goal of common-sense conservation. Our members have many outdoor interests and enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking, bird-watching, and are active in outdoor education, wildlife-conservation, sustainable agriculture, and promoting clean air and water.
