The McLean House, on the Old Post Road U. S. Route 11, is located in the Historic District of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1798 by Post Master/Merchant Joseph Duncan on a double lot purchased from Edward Shippen, who received the land now occupied by Shippensburg in a grant from William Penn. The property was sold to McLean family in 1876 and remained in their family for more than a hundred years. The McLean added several wings and Victorian embellishments.

    When Colonel Bob Rose retired from the United States Army, the Roses purchased the property in 1987, and have restored it into a pleasant and comfortable home. Branch Creek, with mallards and trout, bounds the property.

    Our area is a “junquer’s” paradise with dozens of antique and flea markets and weekly country auctions. Our Amish neighbors are a common sight - most local markets have hitching rails for their buggies.

We look forward to serving you.

Your hosts,

Bob and Jan Rose
