While following the Historical Marker Trail through Cumberland County when we came across the JOHN BANNISTER GIBSON historical marker in Carlisle. This particular area has a lot of them, so follow the official trail to find them all. This one is located on High Street. You can get out and photograph it (safely) for your waymarking records. This is another older one but in great shape, some of the other ones on this section of the trail could use a good cleaning and update.
John Bannister Gibson
Distinguished jurist and author of legal books, lived in this house from about 1820 until his death, 1853; Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania for 24 years of his 37 years membership.
