What was once the small community of Stoufferstown, just to the east of Chambersburg along the Lincoln Highway, has essentially been gobbled up by the urban sprawl along Lincoln Way east.  The town center was pretty much where Interstate 81 now intersects U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway.)   The markers here, as well as the town itself, are long gone.
