Retirement Homes? Pennsylvania Has The Best Communty!
Cranberry Twp was founded in 1804 and was named for the native wild cranberries growing along Brush Creek. Today, Brush Creek flows through the Sherwood Oaks campus, but you will find no cranberry bushes on the PA retirement homes' campus. You will, however, find cranberry plants flourishing a short distance away in the gardens at the Cranberry Municipal Building. Brush Creek winds through the upper campus, which is a wooded area with lovely trillium plants. Brush Creek feeds the two lakes that are situated on the retirement Pennsylvania homes' campus.
