The Beginning

Rooted in the Mennonite faith, Menno Haven’s proud history began when David H. Lehman (the first Chairman of the Board) and Norman Martin were the first to see this need and envisioned the building of a Christian nursing facility in Chambersburg.

1990’s

In 1991, Menno Haven expanded and made the purchase of the historic Penn Hall in Chambersburg. Within five years of the purchase, a new 60 bed nursing center was built and independent living cottages were added that made room for more residents to join the Menno Haven community.
