Location
City insight: Boalsburg
Boalsburg is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Harris Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and it is part of the State College metropolitan area. The village claims to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, though a 2014 book by Bellware and Gardiner questioned that claim. Summers are warm and humid and winters are cold with snow, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
