Foxburg Country Club is home to one of the oldest golf courses in continuous use in America. The Foxburg Golf Club, as it was named back then, opened for business in 1887. Their first president was a man named Joseph M Fox. Mr. Fox was introduced to golf while traveling abroad in England. He was so intrigued by golf that when he returned to the summer estate he made a three hole course in a cow pasture. Eventually The Foxburg Golf Club was established and the course was expanded to nine holes.More

For just one day, on the 15th of August, 2009 Foxburg added a new dimension to it’s many facets – a celebration of Scotland. The sound of bagpipes filled the air as the strolling bagpipers marched about throughout the day. Men outfitted in their finest kilts roamed the grounds while sheepdogs rounded-up all of the roaming sheep. There was Scottish music, food and crafts at every turn, and even Scottish clans – the theme of the day was that of a land so rich in cultural heritage that it was teeming at the Riverstone Farm. Rightly so it was, due to the fact that the original benefactor of Foxburg, Joseph Mickle Fox, was responsible for bringing the game of golf to Foxburg after enjoying it in St. Andrews, Scotland. So many years after he enjoyed the Scottish countryside, the Scottish countryside came to Foxburg. It was a day like no other Foxburg had ever seen.More

Two years ago, my husband and I uprooted our cozy living arrangement in the shadows of Toronto and moved to the, somewhat remote, town of Foxburg Pennsylvania to open our very own chocolate shop. Ever since, one pivotal question, accompanied by a hint or two of disbelief, has been cropping up in the minds and on the lips of nearly everyone who visits our place…”Why did you choose Foxburg?” More
