Tartown, Pennsylvania

The remains of Tartown are located on property of the Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, Borough Authority^[1] and in the adjacent Michaux State Forest in Hamiltonban Township.

The name of the former town reportedly originated from the local production of pine tar. Wagamansville was a variant name.^[2][3]

The locale has in part been inundated by the reservoir that was created by the construction of the Waynesboro Dam on the East Branch of the Antietam Creek.^[4][5]
