Rooted in agriculture and shaped by a strong sense of community, the borough has grown while preserving its historic charm. The presence of the Amish and Westminster College continues to influence local life, making New Wilmington a unique blend of tradition, education, and small-town spirit.
Set among rolling farmland, New Wilmington is a small town with deep roots and a creative spirit. Market Street offers a glimpse of Amish life alongside local shops, restaurants, and community spaces. The Fresh Marketplace, our seasonal farmers market, brings neighbors together with local vendors, live music, kids’ activities, and our popular farm-to-table grill. Just steps away, Westminster College adds timeless architecture and vibrant culture to the heart of town
